Awesome finish and quality. Increases the brake power immensely due to it's high level of stiffness. It's the stiffest mid reach (They call it long reach, which it isn't!!) caliper on the market unless you go custom... Totally ove it and a huge improvement to my previous Shimano.
Top notch in fit, function, and appearance. I only regret not buying it sooner.
These are excellent bars with four distinct and very usable hand positions from uproght to narrow and aero. They make great touring bars. My favorite bar for everyday rides is still the Granola bar. It’s lighter and simpler and offers two comfortable hand positions. I have Granolas on three bikes and the Granola-Moose on one.
I selected these to fit over some larger Gravelking tires on my Homer Hilsen. Description says they will fit with 42C tires...so I tried to push it and learned they WILL NOT fit over 43C tires. It took some adjusting to install on my bike because of the longer chainstays and bridge placement on my bike. Got some great advice from VO to assist. I ended up going with some slightly smaller tires they fit perfectly (700X40). I'm really pleased with the finished result.
Alright, so I got these bars as I have a single speed bike that has no provisions for racks. I think this may have been developed for bike packing, but I actually think that using this on a Fixie, Singlespeed or even Dutch city bike is a better use case as all of those have less or no levers on the bars. I am very satisfied with the build quality and utility of the bars. I did however mount the bars with longer bolts and spacers to leave just a tiny bit more room for the brake cables to pass under the rack. I also cut these down from 780 to 725mm. I think that would be my only critique— that there sometimes isnt not quite enough space for brake cable to pass behind the rack depending on your frame. I love the concept though and I’m glad I got them.
Does the job for an older bike frame.
Larger and lighter than the platform pedals they replaced. You can tell the construction is superior. The pins really help keep your foot firmly in place. Like in other reviews, I had foot issues and can no longer use the platform/toe clip combination.
I got the Granola Moose to replace the bars on an electric fat bike i own, and it made an amazing difference. I wrapped them up with bar tape and had plenty of room for all sorts of attachments. If you value comfort and stability, you'll enjoy these bars.
Absolutely love these bar along with the utility rack!!! Chopped these guys down a little to make them absolutely perfect!!

I was concerned that the rear fender wouldn't fit between the ridiculously narrow chainstays of my Bullitt but after a little bit of fender massage, it fits beautifully and somehow has a few mms more tire clearance under it than the planet bike fender it replaced. At this point in my bike life, I wouldn't even consider another brand of fender. Why bother, these are perfect.
I love the improvements from Camp Snap’s V101 camera. The new sounds when turning it on, snapping a pic, and turning it off are less annoying, the camera shutter is noticeably faster, and the numbers aren’t a glaring red light anymore. I don’t have to stand in place for a few seconds to prevent motion blur. I was a little worried that Velo was shipping the V101, as I was looking for the V103, because of the product photos (some were of the 101, others the 103, but I trusted the product listing when it said new version). Overall, super glad I bought it!
Took some gettin used to. Due to some foot issues I ca no longer use clip but I find these exceedingly grippy and comfortable to used. Would definitely recommend.
