banna Posted May 24, 2011 Share I can barely climb out of bed But I have risers with big bullhorn bar ends, and I am big enough to ask this "If my bike is funny, imagine how funny it will be to watch you pick up your teeth with broken arms" I stopped playing golf because of all these little unwritten rules, seems mountainbiking is heading the same way Don't worry about what other people think boet. As long as you enjoy it. That's all that matters. And you know what, "real" mtbikers don't care about what your bike looks like, all we care about is that you are in fact riding and enjoying it.

AndreZA Posted May 24, 2011 Share Risers on a XC bike and nogal with bar-ends is like MTBing with white socks. You know about the game but you do not know how to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Im the opposite. Im not the best downhiller..... i need someone to blindfold me and remove my breaks My signiture should give you a clue as the usability of brakes and well blind folds are to be used on other occasions not while MTB'ing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mampara you know i normally love your rants but thats the equivelant of Bill gates saying youll never need more than 640K or RAM in our computers, and this thing called disk brakes will never catch on they are just too heavy.

covie Posted May 24, 2011 Share So you do wear white socks while MTBing. Sadly i did once ...... realized i forgot my socks at home rushed of to CWC and they only had white ones on sale. So i was cheapskate enough to buy them and use them, thank gawd it was a night ride. Edited May 24, 2011 by covie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecandy Posted May 24, 2011 Share I couldnt care what people think. I wear white quite often, not the socks but the rest, for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted May 24, 2011 Share After all of this talk about riser bars I have purchased a carbon Easton Monkeylite SL. It is very used and in quite a state but I can see the potential! Have already started sanding and scraping... under that black Easton paint is matt carbon goodness and it is a wonderful to behold. I am going to leave it "naked" (matt and unpainted) and instal it onto my Anthem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted May 24, 2011 Share ......it is a wonderful to behold......I am going to leave it "naked" .........and instal it onto my Anthem... The last bit should read:"...install it UNTO my Anthem..." to keep it properly religious!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjokkits Posted May 27, 2011 Share i started with raiser bars and flew over the handlebars once a ride on average, all changed when i went to flats which i enjoyed for years but struggled with more technical stuff. now refitted some raiser bars, much more comfy and better handling and no flying sessions, turns out the width makes a big diffirence, the previous raiser bars were 580's the new ones are 640's. not sure how one copes with anything wider than that tho. and yes, cane creeks at the ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
