Look for a first impression after I get them mounted up on the Karate Monkey later this week. The sloping, flared out drops on the Gary are the most radical of all the off roadable drop bars and is quite reminiscent of early modified Cinelli "dirt drops" from the early 80's. These Gary bars look to be of good make, reasonable weight for off roading, and have a nice feel, as well they should since the "business end" is exactly like a Midge bar. I want to take the Midge off the Karate Monkey and get some comparison shots and weight comparisons too. Therefore, the flat, upper section of the Gary is narrower than the Midge bar's upper section. (Check out my picture here of the Gary) The Midge bar has a more vertical cant to the drops.

This spoke calculator is provided only as a guide for your convenience in determining spoke lengths for your order. One: the overall width of the Gary is maybe a centimeter wider than a Midge, and Two: the slope of the Gary bar is flatter. Pro Wheel Builder Spoke Length Calculator. The differences are really only two things.

The reach and drop measurements seem very close to identical. The length of the drop section is identical, as is the curvature of the drop. Since I own a Midge, I checked out the bars shapes against each other.įirst, let me say that they are more similar than different. Obviously, the comparisons to On One's Midge bar are inescapable. The retail price should be somewhere around $30.00- $40.00 for these, depending upon your retailer. The specs on the bar are as follows: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, 580mm center to center width, 25.4mm handlebar clamp diameter, Shot peened surface finish that is annodized black, laser etched graphics, and weight is claimed at 310 grams. Gary Bars are in stock and ready for delivery now, according to my contact. You should be able to find these bars at most local bike shops that have a J&B Importers account, or order them through those bike shops. The bars are part of the "Propulsion" series, which also includes a couple of other bars, like a mustache type bar, and a "funky" riser bar for off roading. These are from "Origin 8", which is a house brand of J&B Importers, a nationwide distributor of bicycle parts with headquarters in Miami, Florida. I recieved these new off road "dirt drop" bars for testing/ review just yesterday.
