At this rate I’m going to have to buy a 3d printer. The library is too slow.
I love em for an upper decaleur, but on the bottom it adds stack height that makes the bag “float” above the rack, I just can’t get into that

i remember this conversation happening mildly recently on oldtarck
what sweptback upright bars are thinking these days for an old road bike?
i threw albatross on girlspag’s mtn bike clunker (and i really like them) but is that what i want on an old trek? porteur bars are dumb. i just want to sit upright with a thumb shifter and go to the bars

WOAH
Seriously the person that designed this needs to have a gofundme link or something because resources like this need to be maintained and exist indefinitely.
There are already way more bar choices up from the last time I checked. bravo
Holy crap, whomever made that needs to be on tarck
I like Kalloy Tourist (dirt cheap)
and Ahearne-MAP bars
Listen to this guy.
I have the Nitto Jitensha bar on my PR and it’s OK, but a bit narrow for my tastes.
Guys, observe what happens when you click on the crust towel rack.

ordering the kalloy bars if i don’t find some at a swap this weekend. those look rad
Are there any upright bars that dont suck for 20+ miles? I dont want to use drop bars anymore on this bike i here have
Any bars could be fine/not fine for hours of riding…a lot of that comfort depends on you and your position on the bike.
I do comfy >4h rides on them Kalloy Tourists, and whatever things came on my XC bike.
This is what I want, yes?
those
whatbars is a jdgesus joke name for crust bars (see the #whatbars hashtag on instagram) so whoever made that probably already knows about tarck
You know that Bicycle Counter Culture Slack? A dude on there started it.
BCC is like tarck-lite or diet tarck. The main difference is that all those dudes think Klampers are holy grail brakes, but overall it’s a nice group of people with relatively good taste. It was started by @Hobocross who is an all around good dude in my experience. @jdgesus posts there occasionally and he gave the url to the guy who started it. Chip Martens I think is his name.
Also I get a big kick out of referring to non-tarck bike people as @(Instagram handle)
well there you go
So do you have to request a login for their Slack Workspace?
Slack’s login style / multiple passwords confuses me so much
