Did you start from the lower bar and work your way up--or the reverse? Did you use electrical tape to finish the application? It appears the Brooks cork bar end-caps fit in the Brompton handlebars...is that correct?

At the moment...Thanks for leaving the comment Mr B. At the moment I have found 3 good positions - top, lower and the top bend. For me at least, so far so good. The Brooks bat tape is surprisingly comfortable but I have actually places some Specialized gel strips under the tape at the top, top curve and lower position. The standard foam grips weren't too comfortable by comparison.

However after 30 <br />months of using the P-type handlebar it just had to go. I originally chose it based on the Brompton sales gumf on their website extolling the virtues of the multiple positions (realistically there are only two positions) and also Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
