With the Jones Bars you may need to be looking into longer grips is you want to take advantage of the full cut of the bars. For the record I'm using Lizard Skin NorthShore grips on mine. Since I don't really have more than a couple of miles on them I'm sure there will be some tweaking before everything settles in.
Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to take the plunge on the H-Bar Bend version. I just need to figure out if I want 660mm or 710mm? My current 7 degree swept bars are 640mm. I've been reading up on grips and the Ergon GC1s seem to work well with backswept bars.
