  • I'm looking at a pair of Nitto M109AA's or Soma Highway Ones.

    Does anyone have experience of getting either of these into a Nitto Pearl or a Zenith Gran Compe (Pearl would be first choice, but it might end up being the Gran Compe)?

    Mainly asking because I once bought some Highway Ones to go into a Dura Ace 7400 stem and they wouldn't fit!

    I'd prefer the Nitto bars I think...

  • I have M106 NAS in a Pearl on one bike and Soma HWY ONE in a Pearl on another. Both fit, but the M106 was a fair bit trickier to install IIRC.

    Thanks for this, I ordered the M109AA. They are nice bars and fitted no problem into my Zenith Gran Compe using the 2p and reversed bolt trick.

    However. Stupidly I didn't measure them until after I'd fitted them and taped the bars. Just clean forgot in my rush to install them.

    Hubjub were quite right and they are 42cm in the drops. They're a nice shape, but they are more like 43cm measured C-T-C at the tops, which is effectively 2cm wider than the rest of my bars! Doh.

    I could order them in 40cm but I worry they'll be too narrow, so I'm now thinking I should've just listened to general forum advice and gone with the Highway Ones.

    Does anyone have a pair of 42cm Highway Ones they'd mind measuring across the tops to see what the C-2-C is there? My hands spend most of their time on the hoods so this is the measurement which matters for me...
