The KH T-bar Touring Handle

chazpantz · 2012-05-09, 03:21 AM

Hi all my name is chris and i am looking at getting a KH T-bar Touring Handle so i can do some longer rides and progress further in my muni, i have a nimbusII 24" and wanted to know if The KH T-bar Touring Handle will attach to the seat post or if i need a KH Adjustable Seat Post uni specific to make it work? any and all words of wisdom welcome

The T-bar itself just bolts to the bottom of the saddle, I do not believe the seatpost will make a difference. I think that the only requirement is that the saddle has a 2009 KH base... I could be totally wrong, as my T-bar is not here yet.

This is right. 2009+ Nimbus saddles also use the KH base and are compatible with the T-bar. Look at the underside of your saddle. If it has a KH signature logo molded into the plastic and the bumpers are held on with allen bolts you should be set.

Right, I installed a T-bar on my Nimbus new flat saddle

Install the stiffener plate between the saddle and teh seat and you'll get more nose up seat angle out of that fixed post.

There's a thread on T Bar set ups under custom grab handles in the review section

I apoligize in advance for the bad picture.

It is my birthday and I recieved a KH T-bar. I set it up, but I have a few questions as to whether I set it up correctly:

1. The directions say "the saddle handle goes under the reinforcement." I am somewhat confused on how to interpret this, because this can be seen as two different things, depending on how the saddle is oriented when the T-bar is being installed.

2. When I attached the L-brackets, the bow out slightly, is this normal?

As it stands, from the bottom up, I have the bolt head, the washer, the L-bracket, the reinforcement plate, the saddle handle, then the saddle base. Is this correct?

Here is a photo:

That's not a flat saddle

This a flat saddle.

I'm using this KH T-bar/NNC Flatfish setup for my 160km Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge on Saturday.
