Modolo hybrid bars

John Gray said:

Anyone any experience of these? I am considering having them fitted to a new bike, rather then
conventional straight bars ( I don't want drops). Any thoughts/advice? First impressions are it
must be awkward, if not impossible, to fit a barbag, which might be a nuisance.

That sums them up quite well. They give you a lot more places to hold them than straight bars, which
is a good thing, but I haven't found a way to fit a barbag on - which hasn't been a great problem
because I've plenty of rack space for panniers.

Mine aren't Modolo though. Modolo bars were about 50 quid last time I looked - mine were less than
half that.

You can buy a bar bag mount extender for £4.00 from www.gearshift.co.uk code number WRKBR2. On the
subject of the bars i have put a set on my Raleigh Randonneur touring frame after i canibalised the
ergo levers and gears for my audax bike, i find them quite comfortable and a nice change. Another
bonus point is being able to use V brakes with out any problems associated with the cable pull of
drop levers. Also highly recommended is the foam sleeves for £6.00 a pair also from gearshift.
Happy cycling.

Thanks for the useful advice chaps!
