They are distributed here in the U.S. by a company called J&B Importers. The manufacturer of the bars is Kalloy. Retail price on Gary bars in the U.S. is about $25.00 and they are sold through most independant bike shops here. More specifically, I have put on some Tektro linear pull specific levers and I am using ESI silicone grips on the drop section there with a finishing wrap of Bontrager gel tape. kathar: The handlebars on the blue bike are Origin 8 “Gary” bars.

You won't need to dump as much pressure in the Schwalbes either since the casing is so supple. I would recommend you run about 5-7 psi higher than your settings on the WTB tires. dosboy: The Weir Wolfs are great in the winter, but yes…….the Ralphs are better.

Cushy, pretty fast for the size, and good wearing are what I hear most often. I think that if your commute is rough, and you carry any loads, you can't go wrong. I probably will get a pair for my fixed Monkey around Fall time. Dirt: I have not personally used them, but I have bent the ears of a few folks that have.
