Does owning this Surly handlebar make you cooler? Probably not, but it will make you more moloko. Which is either an esoteric reference to the milk from Clockwork Orange or an even more esoteric reference to the Irish-English electronic music duo. Either way you'll have a ton of hand positions and some interesting options for attaching items to your bike. I found the sweep of these handlebars to be modest. More then the original flat bar that came with my bike, but not aggressive.

I’ll be honest I’ve had a Thomson stem on each of my bikes for the past 10 years. These are by far the best stems on the market. Made is the USA as well. I have their seatposts and carbon handlebars on each of our bikes as well. Best looking cockpits in the northwest.

I use these to increase the range on Shimano and SRAM drivetrains. They are affordable and light like the Shimano XT or Ultegra.

These are great to have on the road for a quick broken chain fix. Or use it on a Shimano pinned chain and have a removable link on your 10-speed chain.
