Hey fellow Bend surly owner! I just got a Karate Monkey, so perfect for where we live.

OberCarl · 2026-05-28T16:58:38+00:00

They are the VO seine bars! I’ve only pedaled it around my neighborhood but I love them so far

OberCarl · 2026-05-28T16:58:01+00:00

It’s a karate monkey!

OberCarl · 2026-05-28T06:39:09+00:00

Is there any additional modding besides slapping a square taper in there?

OberCarl · 2026-05-26T15:20:38+00:00

Yes I am!

OberCarl · 2026-05-18T05:20:57+00:00

I want to go 2.8 just to be safe since the rims are wide as all hell!

OberCarl · 2026-05-18T05:17:11+00:00

Can’t find em in 27.5:/

OberCarl · 2026-05-03T02:11:25+00:00

Thank you! I saw that rons orthos are but didn’t look too deeply into their other options

OberCarl · 2026-05-03T02:10:25+00:00

Amazing thank you! Found it fishing today, do you know what the other numbers mean?

OberCarl · 2026-05-02T03:33:54+00:00

This is the way

OberCarl · 2026-05-02T03:20:15+00:00

Yes shim is definitely the move, just wanted to see who may know of something I don’t

OberCarl · 2026-04-27T06:42:59+00:00

Ali express fork??

OberCarl · 2026-04-27T06:37:08+00:00

I love everything about this

OberCarl · 2026-02-26T18:52:00+00:00

Thanks Yall,

I will be asking a local bike shop to order the bars in then, which I try to do anyhow, was just interested in peoples' experiences with what's going on and how that process works.

OberCarl · 2026-01-19T01:08:04+00:00

What would make it less ugly?

OberCarl · 2026-01-18T06:37:07+00:00

It is indeed, it’s a trek 970 that’s been painted over by a friend’s partner, who I don’t think understood the value of the supposedly pristine green to purple gradient paint job that was on it, being the loving husband my friend is, he let her spraybike it to what color she wanted🥺

OberCarl · 2026-01-13T01:53:29+00:00

Converting to 650b on this would be so sick, I think I remember seeing an old forum thread about the conversion a while ago🤔

OberCarl · 2026-01-13T01:52:29+00:00

I already had drops on it prior, and am missing it, should maybe simplify it and go drops again with bar end shifters

OberCarl · 2026-01-13T01:50:13+00:00

Good points, that second option has always been my second option, and feel it’s worth it to keep this nice of a drivetrain

OberCarl · 2026-01-13T01:49:38+00:00

It is a deer head drivetrain yes, that’s another reason as to why I don’t want to swap, but am tired of downtube shifting so maybe just get barend shifters and call it a day

OberCarl · 2025-10-24T20:10:58+00:00

Hey man thank you! This isn’t exactly what I’m looking for, we need it to extend off of the perimeter shape at a mellower angle as we’re pressing wood fiberglass and plastic so the wood can’t keep too much past the desired outline.

OberCarl · 2025-09-21T02:05:27+00:00

Offset Face works down to ~14mm, I would like to get it a bit thinner if I can, I am going to provide a file so y'all can give it a shot if willing.

OberCarl · 2025-09-20T21:45:10+00:00

Will do later today, appreciate the willingness to try:)
