Another Drop bar to Flat bar conversion - Fixing the Trek 920

- In this video we convert my wife's bike, a 2017 Trek 920, to flat bars. Specifically we used some alt style cruiser mustache bars. This required a brake swap to Shimano MT200 brakes and replacing the shifters with SRAM GX 2x10 mountain bike style shifters. Personally I think this is how this bike should have come from the factory. This is not a how to, this is a simple video sharing what is involved in the conversion and showing off the final result. There are many different ways someone could go about making this upgrade, so with some basic bike mechanic knowledge you can outfit your 920 however you please.

11,000 plus miles on my 920 with drop bars, and it's perfect. You just need to size down one frame size. I did upgrade to brifter shifting like the later 920s had for better technical trail riding.
I got the frame on order because the complete bikes are no longer sold. Debating a flatbar or bend bars. In Holland we use an in between bar for beach races that I would also consider. So thanks for the video. What brand and model tires are these? Look perfect for my area.

Would love to do put those bars on my wifes Mt bike. She has wrist issues and that much sweep on that bar would work perfectly. Could you please share a link or the name ane dimensions including rise and sweep? Its confusing to know which bar has the dimensions you got. So many choices. Thanks man and I'm a new subscriber good content bro!
Hey man I was able to figure it out. Thanks again for the upload!
That is a great point. I'll post the details of the bar in the description and in another comment in case anyone else needs the same info.
I run a 2½" rise Jones Bar on my 920. I'm 6" with a 58 cm frame & an adjustable stem all the way up. I've ridden it up the Pacific coast & from Southern California to St. Joseph, MO. Excellent bike, even better with upright bars.

They are 640mm wide with an unknown amount of rise. There are nicer bars in this shape but on a budget they seem to be a good value.

It was at that time he acquired the nickname "Pterodactyl" and orthopaedic surgeons started giving him their business cards.
