Anyone have any experience with the Nashbar ATB/Treking bars? Do you need to disconnect all your cables in order to remount grip shifters and brakes? What can be used to pad the extra length of the bars? I noticed the bars at detours.us but $125.00 is too much. Is there an extention for mounting a bag bag?

For my trekking bars I got a long set of foam grips from Grab-On Products (509-529-9800). The grips are about 18" long. They don't sell them at bike shops, but Grab-On sold them to me directly. They were a special item Grab-On made for some customer, and they had a pile of them left over (about 10 months ago when I got mine). The package was labeled "Mountain Cruz" and also included some standard mtb grips which aren't needed for the trekking bars.
