Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I got some Clarks ergo grips from CrC, all black, cheap as chip and super comfy.

But zay have not been engineernered by zee superior german people of ergon.

Yes they are distinctly less ugly than their German counterparts.

I doubt as comftable, zee germans are sehr ergonmic

zee Germans are expensive, these are £7.99 and squishy.

sqvishy?!

Shared to cannondale thread, not a fan of the bar tape or shape but looks like a classy ride otherwise.

#needsguards but no clearance at back

#needs650b .... Maybe one day

+1 for 650b, would look hella awesome

what's the rear rack?

Not sure bought it off Pistoffski a few years back for a 5r.

@vp1337 maybe next year once I've sold some of my stash.

Are they actually any good? I've tried a few cheap Ergon knock offs and never got on with any of them apart from Phorm (which I believe were Ergon's cheap line but they stopped making them).

Ergon's are amazingly comfy I think the cost is worth it on balance. I even have them on my pub bike. They're an incredibly old set that I wrapped in bar tape to make up for the decaying rubber. Still work ok.

They seem good, obviously not done many miles on these yet but have had knock offs in the past which have lasted fine.

The Clarks are nice as the rubber is softer than others I've tried which makes them comfy on the palms. The lock on design is better than some I've seen, will report back in a few months.

Front carrier rack - small and can attach to crown/mid fork or dropout eyelet.

Cheap.

Suggestions?

Guys I'm struggling to find a set of big Gumwall tyres ideally 42-45c and will be used around town/touring.

To fit a Surly Straggler

Any suggestions?

Specialized Fatboys. 700x45c. Suuper plush

vanity tyres >>>
