Set a custom subclass of UINavigationBar in UINavigationController programmatically

Question

Does anyone know how can I use my custom subclass of UINavigationBar if I instantiate UINavigationController programmatically (without IB)?

Michael's solution works, but you can avoid NSKeyedArchiver and 'xxd' utility. Simply Subclass UINavigationController and override initWithRootViewController, loading your custom NavigationController NIB directly:

- (id) initWithRootViewController:(UIViewController *)rootViewController
{
    [self release];
    self = [[[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CTNavigationController" owner:nil options:nil] objectAtIndex:0] retain];  
    [self setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObject:rootViewController]];
    return self;
}
