Hi All

 

Anybody by any chance have a set of nice and wide (710mm and up with a low rise) 31.8mm riser bars lying about and collecting dust that I could try out please.... my 680mm bars are just feeling a little to narrow.

 

Regards

I went from 685 to 710 on my trail bike and I love it. I use a Race Face Respond(1" rise) bar with a Thomson X4 70mm stem. Works very well for me.

 

If I lived in Slaapstad you could have used my bar for the weekend. The sweeps on the longer bars are quite different depending on the manufacturer so it is a good choice to try a few out before you buy.

I have an anodised red Race Face Atlas bar that has been cut to around 710 that you could "try" for 250 excl postage to Slaapstad.

I switched from a standard flat bar(580) to a 660 riser(low rize). And developed a pain ?tendinitis between my scapula and vertibrae. Switched back and the pain left on the early train. Any others who had such an experience?
