Review on Wald Steel Handlebar #803 5.25-inch 27-inch 1-inch Black by Dave Willis

I installed new handlebars on my Specialized Crosstrail this morning. Everything went according to plan. Feedback from other customers helped me avoid some pitfalls and also prepared me for known installation issues. As others have noted, the cables did get frayed a bit due to the change in geometry, but I was able to rearrange them a bit to minimize the problem. Due to the flex in the grip, I also had to modify the brake/derailleur assemblies to make them work properly. Overall the installation went well and I am happy with the product and how it has changed the feel of my bike.
