I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but it's about my mountain bike.
I'd like to set up my Karate Monkey for street use and I'd like to swap out the straight bars for something with more hand positions. Drop bars and mustache bars are intriguing but I'm considering trekking or butterfly bars (same thing?) because the pictures I've seen look like they use the same brake levers and I'm hoping to minimize the number of parts that would need to be replaced.
I really don't know much about swapping parts. With trekking bars, would I need to change the stem or should the existing one work? Would other parts need to be swapped out? I'm trying to keep it economical and simple.
Thanks.
