Latest LHT Upgrades





So I have made a few upgrades to the trucker as of late. First, I have added a Nitto Grand Randonneur bar. So far so good, I just returned from the trial ride and things were nice. I am surprised on how comfortable the drops are. What the Rando bar give you is a slight flare to the bars and some shortening of the top bar also. With me having larger shoulders then most bike riders I liked the standard bars for additional room on the to bar but also disliked the fact that the section I liked on the top I hated in the drops. The Rando fully corrects that forearm touch point. The other thing I have noticed is that I like my hoods is line with the bar and perpendicular to the ground and not lined up with the slight flare.
This was also the first time I wrapped a set of bars in over 15 years....hell yea OCD!!
I have also added a German mirror and so far love it, I will have a posting on the mirror soon.
