Uno Trekking 'Butterfly' Handle Bars test ride and review_Relive

- I installed a 'Butterfly" Trekking handle bars by UNO on my 1981 Miyata 1000 vintage bicycle I plan to use on my JAPAN Hokkaido Bicycle Touring this Fall. Having carpal tunnel gave reasons to upgrade for a 1000+ km journey. Four hand positions for the comfort of a long distance adventure ride!
A 6061 aluminum construction 570mm Bore 25.4 Black bars fits perfectly into my vintage stem. Avoiding spending $$$ I used some spare BMX lever parts/cables. A 'Third eye" rear view adjustable mirror fitted into the bar end handles also great for steep climbs hand position.
These bars could be installed in different angles or direction you choose is comfortable for you.
special dedication at the end

I just installed trekking bars with 2 bars added in front for an aero position. Will test ride when weather isn't 🥶 freezing here in SE Wisconsin..
i like the configuration of the butterfly. awesome!
The Laughing Lion I agree 🤣🦁, different positions helps relieve pain and numbness on lower back, shoulders and hands on long rides. Thanks for dropping by 👍😁!
Nice bars! Glad you like those trekking bars man......and dude....that scenery you have there is insanely beautiful.
CaptainBobAdventures Thanks Capt.!👍😃 I definitely love the bars, feels awesome! I never get tired of this scenery close to my home and is my get away place for bikepacking. It's the most cleanest beautiful preserved beaches and trails on Island under Wildlife Preservation! Sucks no camping! The beach goes miles and miles of secluded white sand beaches and palm trees up to northern tip of island.. unfortunately it's off limits by the USAF military. 😬☹
cool video prim. The graphic with the map and the meter was awesome. I read that story about the swimmers on pdn sad RIP.
reelrob Thanks prim! 👍😂 It's awesome how Relive app does the whole Google earth map ride video from my GPS Garmin recorded ride. Sad indeed how a perfect fun relaxing day could turn out for the worse. Thoughts for the family.
Nice looking ride. The seas around the UK never look that inviting.
Sorry to see someone died rescuing them 😑
jugglerjim01 Thank you 👍😃 Yeah it's unfortunate many tourist, even locals ignore the warning signs and the Rangers verbal warnings taking risks going out to the reef line just to take an epic selfie. Many tourist and locals have lost their lives there unfortunately. The ignorance of those people could cost their own lives if not others, had not they went out no one would have died. It's the most cleanest beautiful preserved beaches on Island.
Great video and what I was looking for, I want to add butterfly bars to my quill stem. Thanks!
Les French Thank you 👍😁
Hafa Adai! I sure miss those beautiful waters back home. Stay healthy and keep riding.
You're stylin' wherever it is you're at. Thanks bro.....
Thank you!
Hello great Vid. Keep Up the great Work
HUBBA ABBA Thank you 👍😂
Nice ride, i love how you edit these rides😊😊 GREAT share & FULL view😊
Dulce Amor Gamez Thanks Dulce, I love how Relive does these Google Earth image videos. 🙌 Great perspective of the ride and landscape. Awesome!
cool stuff, thanks for sharing :)
Nepalese Nomad Thank you for dropping by 👍😁
Great scenery man! I don't know if I could pedal that far but I sure could Grom right next to you. I just eat the noodles dry.
Dirty ol Joe Thanks Joe! lol, peddling up that hill wished I was on the Grom! Yeah I use to sprinkle the base over the noodles and eat dry when I was a kid.👍🤣
Wonderful 🔺
محبي الطيور المغردة Thank you 👍😁
Nice setup man. Gonna add this to my Kona Dew
Scott Clarke Thanks Scott 👍😂 Wow! Kona Dew is hardcore bicycle, awesome bicycle!
Giving this video another play hehe...seemed 'fitting' to comment with a butterfly haha! 🦋
Amyehme lol, Thanks Amyehme 😁, butterfly indeed. 🦋 🚴♂️
Woah, cool!
ItzJack Thanks 👍😃
*1MadassGrom* Np! :)
Oh wow😮😮 BEAUTIFUL beach, but so DANGEROUS😕
Dulce Amor Gamez Thanks Dulce 😀 It is beautiful and dangerous.. when in doubt, don't go out. In the video that day the current was very strong.. stuggling to stay still.
Great Vintage looking Bike :) Long hot ride, but I bet it's all worth it down at the beach side, lol ! Stay Safe, see you out there riding sometime🤙
Thank you! Yeah Ritidian my favorite week/weekend rides. My 1981 'Miyata 1000' Japanese bicycle I used in Hokkaido and Korea, great feel for my riding preferences. I call it my "stick shift" bike. See ya out on the roads and be safe too.🤙 🤣👍🚴♂️
Nice bars. Plenty of different places to grab, and on that vintage bike. Really cool. You went for a long test! Wow, sorry to hear about Joey.
I love the bends on that Trekker bar! It is so hard to buy them online looking at 2d pics. I ended up with Modolo Dumbos but if I were to buy regular trekker, I would want them with these angles. The other bars I have gotten turned out to be flat, no lift for the handles.
Thanks for the comment. Yes these trekker bars sure helps with different position especially with my carpal tunnel.
Nice scene at 1:38 (and around 1:46 haha!)! I kept looking at the pink liquid in part of your video haha!
Thanks Amyehme :) That pink stuff was my Nuun Wild Berry electrolyte sports drink. Not a big fan of sports drinks but it helps with staying hydrated especially with the hot weather here. :) That bottle cage was my last minute drink holder hack, very reliable :D
Great video. I may do something similar to my 2008 Dawes Horizon Touring bike :-)
Thanks Brian! Awesome bar I was just using it on my Japan Hokkaido Tour. Great feel and handle! Nice touring bike you have by the way!
Thank you! I must admit I haven't done any touring on my Dawes Horizon :-( But it's a nice general purpose bike. The only thing left original on it is the frame, fork, and seat post...:-)
Thanks for doing this. Good review. Perhaps the highest point could be closer to you for a more upright and comfortable cruise?
Your welcome! yes, i have tried that angle and does give for more comfortable ride.
1MadassGrom So sad for the local hero. Beautiful ride, like#7.
Lin Bluearrow / Music Channel Yeah, that was sad to read.
Beautiful beach and gets sad to think of all the people who lost their life there. Happens throughout parts of the islands public and secluded beaches.
BEAUTIFUL beach😊😊❤❤❤
Dulce Amor Gamez Thank you Dulce 👍😀
This was a great little video thanks. I have just put butterfly bars on my mountain bike, and I like how you put the bar ends on your bike. I am thinking about putting bar ends like that on mine and using them more out to the sides to give a wider grip when I want - to simulate the original wide mountain bike bars - Do you think that would work? Would you be confident putting weight on those? Thanks
Ronnie O Thank you Ronnie O 👍😁 I am going to try out that idea of yours to get that wide feel since I'm use to wide bars on my MTB. I seen some tourers put extension lower corner giving it a wide back sweep position. Whatever feels comfortable for you should work out fine. Try different positions to find that feel your looking for. I had a fully loaded front handle bar bag on these bars with no problem on my recent Hokkaido tour.
Cool, I currently have sponge wrap on mine all the way around, I hate to start cutting into it :) ... Lazy
Ronnie O lol, went through the same thing too. So I test ride without the bar wraps until im satisfied with a set up then I wrap it up. 👍
Do your knees touch the steer when you stand up? I feel I'm close but I'm thinking It may be normal
It's quite normal for this kind of design. Knees dont touch steering when standing. My set up feels comfortable for me. You need to set up yours to your comfort, adjust angle, height or stem length.
Thanks. Do you still like the bars?
Yes but havent been using it lately on my Travels.
How were you able to fit the bar ends all the way to there?
(I'm asking because I'm struggling with mine).
I had a bit of a struggle too but I opened bar ends as much it can and slide back and forth carefully into position. A little water and soap to help slide easier.
How about sitting position? Does it comfortable when switching to different hand positions?
Bicycle touring in Hokkaido, felt comfortable through the rides.
Firstly where do you live man? Is that Japan? Ive always talked about visiting Japan but I never knew it has such beautiful beaches and clear water! I need to go there!! Re the bars, I think I need something for a 3 week tour in France this summer (hopefully). I could set my watch to my sore back. As soon as Ive been cycling for an hour my lower back gets painful. If I sit upright and cycle along not holding the bars, so I can sit up straight my back pain goes away. So I looked at these bars online. I have a question though...it looks like the bars dont actually raise the height of your hands but only move them closer or further away. All the review say they give a more upright position but how is this so if the actual height is not changed? I thought about putting them on then turning them so the bars with the brake levers raise up but it looks like this would make the other portion even lower than the original straight bars I have.
Thank you 😎👍 Not Japan, I live in a US Territory island of Guam, 2'612km south of Japan in Micronesia.
The reviews you read meant just as you thought of planning to do with the bars, it becomes like a riser bar with the other side lower. Your stem height may be to short or does not have a rise angle making your bars too low. To avoid this type of set up, a solution for this issue I suggest to install a riser stem, It simply increases the height of your bars. If your steer tube clearance is not long enough for stem height and bars still low you have the option to install a stem riser adaptor. It simply attach to the steer tube and then install stem to the desired height. If your stem is the standard 1 1/8 threadless this will work with many set up options. If you have the threaded or a quil stem like the one I have on my vintage bicycle in this video, a longer base and more upright stem angle will do.
You have to try these adjustments and set ups to find what works for you base on the bicycle frame design and your height. Hope this helps, any questions let me know. Be safe and enjoy your bicycle tour in France. 😎👍
@@1uniqueislander968 Thanks for the reply Jason Guam looks beautiful! I think I will try to install a riser stem first as that seems like a lot less hassle for the same effect. A couple of bull bars are great for an alternative hand position.
@@kestrelaerialvideonorthern7706 Your welcome 😎🤙 Bull bars I seen, works great too. Enjoy your rides 🚵♂️
Are you worried about breaking fast with your hands so far away on the upper bars
Thanks. No worries, use on flat long roads not on downhills or busy traffic areas. I installed that bar end position for different hand positions for my severe carpal tunnel syndrome on long flat rides. This my personal preferences, you could put it anywhere you feel is comfortable or just go with out it.
They look like off as exercise bike...
