I do have a couple question about the Ergon grips.
  • How do you like them overall?
  • Did you consider using any of the Ergon GC2 through GC5 models with bar ends?
    • If so why did you go with the GC1s?

The VO Crazy Bars are now back in stock on their website and I took the plunge. They should be arriving shortly and I will be going with some type of Ergon GC grip. Not sure about GC1 vs. GC4 vs. GC5.
I also need to work out the brake levers for this build. I am now thinking Shimano Sora BL-R3000 . I believe they support both short and long pull brakes, so I can stick with my current cantis and easily switch to V brakes later.
Does anyone have any experience with the Soras?

Any feedback would be appreciated.
I chose the GC1s because I already had full 'L' bar ends to mount, so GP 2-5 would have been redundant. (the higher the number the bigger the bar end)
I like them, they help a lot with wrist numbness, but there are continual adjustments for the height/angle of the palm support too high and it's worse, too low and they do nothing.
Let us see the end job so we can oooh and aaaah.
