Saw this tweet this morn...

 

"New uci rules are going to limit bars to 580mm"

 

What do you "cow horns" say???

 

Rumour, substance, why, why not?

 

I say...

 

Give me 720mm or give me death!!! Begone with your tape measure you UCI Commissar bastard!

I personally think this to be a hoax/rumour. And if for some ridiculous reason it is true, it will have to be discipline dependant. It would be pretty dangerous to put the DH field on 580mm bars.

It's on the hub so it must be true.

It's also the UCI so don't count it out just yet.

retweeted by MarathonMTB.com... use it don't use it... couple of years ago everyone had bars that narrow.

A couple of years ago the XC boys and girls were racing fully rigid rigs ..... bikes move on and so should we.

Like I thought... if for some reason there is any truth to this... it will most likely be for a certain discipline... like XCM.
