Triflow isn’t for chains. It’s for all the other things. And it smells like bananas :banana:

I have a buddy who uses one of those for MTB and he seems to like it pretty well

I’ve got them on my Jones’ truss fork, but want to do some more testing before I commit to them 100%.

It’s a good system for CX racing, where you can bring your bottle with you on your pre-rides, and chuck it before the race. Then you don’t have to worry about complications while shouldering your bike.

I worked on a Novara with butterfly bars today.

Those bars are so god awful all I could think about was how terrible the bike felt with them and forgot to actually pay attention to the adjustments to the doo doo Microshift thumbies and had to go back outside for a 2nd test.

the one with the huge hulking extra grips installed (fourth on the top) is even worse!! how could it be possible to need that

Hands down worse than mustache. Not even up for debate.

We installed (against our recommendation) some mustache bars last week on a Crosscheck. They were vastly superior to these torture devices.

He gets a pass if he rides 500mi+ bike tours. His crap looks suspiciously clean & tidy, though.
