wesley_r Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 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.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Ye way pricey,but then ive never spent more then 300 rondt on bars .Nice octanes for 180 rondt @ CRC,only 710 wide tho . Got my Brave Monster bars for R 200 on CRC. 750mm!
ThePubSA Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Got my Brave Monster bars for R 200 on CRC. 750mm!Right on Bos, i almost bought them,but wanted green or blue bars.Might get those braves next order
ThePubSA Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) 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

ThePubSA Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) 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
Skylark Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 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.
Hairy Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Yeah, it happened to me too a couple of months ago. Just going up 40mm and the brake hoses were too short. Yip ...I went wider bars and longer travel fork at the same time
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Yip ...I went wider bars and longer travel fork at the same time Same... But my cables were long enough, and i got new brakes as well...
DR ◣◢ Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 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.
Glenr Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi all, where does one find the Renthal bars? regardsglen
Cruz Addict Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 sheesh i am riding 800mm wide bars on my Nomad with a 50mm stem, ride very tight twisty single track and never have any problems, took me a while to get use to the super wide bars but now i cant ride anything else. rode a mates bike with 70mm bars and felt like i was going to fall on my face.
