I wanted to make the riding position a little more up right. This one is my commuter bike and all my bikes have a drop handlebar, so this was the time to change\u00a0the handlebar.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74739\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5573.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5573\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5573-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nBlue Lug had so many handlebars. What about this? This looked like an exercise bike handlebar. I loved it, but it was too sexy for me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74740\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5574.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5574\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5574-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nThis one was too gnarly for me. I don\u2019t even know where the brakes\u00a0should be. What about shifters? Please let me know the accurate setup\u00a0if you know.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74745\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5579.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5579\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5579-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nAfter much consideration, I decided to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=b352\">NITTO B352 handlebar<\/a>.\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">I also changed a stem. <a href=\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=ui-2+cr-mo\">The UI-2<\/a> 120mm is a perfect match with B352 handlebar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74747\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5582.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5582\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5582.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5582-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nThe B352 is capable of using bar-end shifters. The <a href=\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=odi+grip\">ODI grips<\/a>\u00a0have open-ends for bar end shifters. I love the dark red accent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74746\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5581.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5581\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5581.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_5581-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nDone!
