instead, file off the little nubs with a dremil or similar. then line the placement up on the bars. finally, wrap a couple turns of griptape. presto! done.. i realize this is not for everyone, but it does work ;) Title: Re: HELP handle bar install!! new holes? Post by: Kaveh on May 17, 2008, 07:31:46 PM assemble everything loose, mark where the holes need to go, then get a center punch to mark your holes. The center punch will also help make sure the drill bit doesn't wander. You can then drill a 'pilot' hole, then move to your proper drill bit diameter.
