wesley_r Posted August 27, 2012 Share Just my 2c, I am very happy with the Deity Dirty30 bars at 760mm wide and 25mm rise. I had Truvativ Boobars, but at 780mm wide and 20mm rise I found them just just too low and too wide, even though I'm quite a big dude. The Deity bars are pure bling - get them at www.dialdbikes.co.za It's all personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePubSA Posted August 27, 2012 Share 710 seems like a nice compromise between very wide and too narrowI think between 725-745 prob best for most AM/FR'ers Edited August 27, 2012 by 2Nutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePubSA Posted August 27, 2012 Share LOL! Poser! Dont say it so loud bro,ive got a tappet image to uphold Na just the green /blue seatpost & bars would finish my trance colour scheme off nicely.But not essential,im a price/function over fashion type of holes in shoes skater/biker Edited August 27, 2012 by 2Nutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted September 13, 2012 Share Just a heads up.....If you have pretty narrow bars currently and well fitted cabling , ie cables not wildly flapping in the wind , when you go supa wide on the bars you may need new shifter cables.....and brake hoses. Eeish! Something to consider if you rebuilding your bike and want very wide bars or if you just going wider on your current setup. Nothing like the joy of new parts going flat on its face after you strip everything off and then realize its all to short.Fark My newly fitted teflon jagwire shifter cables are now going to have to enter the bin area , is there any worse irritation than the basic upgrade that becomes the greatly more expensive than anticipated upgrade ?But they will probably fit my cousins Shova and her cables are currently jiggard so they can probably be recycled.

Yeah, it happened to me too a couple of months ago. Just going up 40mm and the brake hoses were too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted September 14, 2012 Share Also keep in mind that with a wider bar it is not a bad idea to fit a shorter stem to ensure your reach and riding position stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
