From a few years of rigidity…
Tubeless Knard on a Dually.
Non O/S, low-rise, carbon bars.
LizardSkinz NorthShore grips.

If your running 26″ get a 29er fork on, get some weight off your hands.

Arise SIR.9+…

From my few years of rigidity… 😀

Tubeless Chronicle on a Dually.
Jones Loops with ESI grips (got a set of carbon loops relay for new ride).

Here’s my fully rigid bike – very comfy 🙂

But yeah – weight back, high front and swept back bars

Alloy forks on mine with the 2.1 Beavers a bit hard on the hands but once the Clwyds dry out a bit I’ll stick something larger on the front wheel and it’ll be fine.

My wife also running a new rigid set-up…again jones loops but fat front

Those bars on the latest Genesis rigid 29ers look nice.
Have some Mary’s on the commuter, but bit much for me off road.
The Genesis ones look about a halfway house.
