Thanks for the tips on those zip ties. I have to wait a couple of weeks to order cables. I may send the bars back, they overlap the fork legs by a tiny bit, maybe 1/2". I think they just look odd because I don't have any gear on them yet, just bare bars.

No worries, with the cost of parts for these bikes, I always look for affordable alternatives when it won't compromise quality or safety.

A zip tie is a zip tie is a zip tie.... All seem the same to me when just holding wires in a spot. I am considering installing the burly clutch pull reducer, anyone use one of these?
