I replaced my stock 12STT bar with a clubman and I would feel more relaxed if my clutch cable was a bit longer. Do you guys know if

1) the Uly bar is taller/wider than the S' bar?
2) would some of you measure the length of the clutch cable?

wider questions maybe?

thanks

The Uly bar is taller and about the same width as the various S bars.

Uly bar in the background, S bar up front:



Oh yea, the Uly cables are longer.

When I did a bar change on my City-X I went higher and wider. It left the clutch cable too short. I moved it out of its original position where it ran through a hole on the top triple clamp, to outside the left fork. I fastened it with a tube clamp(metal loop with a screw hole) and a couple of reinforced zip ties.

that would be something to consider ... I'll look tomorrow. Do you have any pic handy to see how it looks?

I wish I did. I sold that City-X shortly after getting my uly in early '06. Any pictures that I had went down with the hard drive they rode out on. Sorry

It did work well, though it looked prettier in the original hole.
