nigelhicks Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Ja thats a crock of SH ... looked at the whole convo .... Its actually based on some article about Passing Etiquette at races .... Then this other dude comments that wide bars also make it hard to pass ... so the other dude replies with that post about the UCI ruling. ... So its a load of bollocks. ... especially when he hashtags "Plenty" onto his statement. I checked the UCI regulations and in the latest rulings we used for Worlds there is no mention of bar width limitations 45] MarathonMTB.com @marathonmtb15h There's an elephant in the room for Mountain Biking - and it's about to get noisy.

Vinnydabutcher Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 As long as they limit it to 580mm each side of the stem, we should be fine. Otherwise - attack of the lesser spotted XCO masses!

nigelhicks Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 As long as they limit it to 580mm each side of the stem, we should be fine. hahahaha speaking of limiting to each side of the stem. A while back when i worked in the LBS ... I sold some dude a bike ... and he wanted to cut the bars down. But we said rather just ride it first and then make up your mind. If you want to cut it down then take of 2cm and you should be good. So im sure you can all see where this is going ... he merrily cuts the bar but then comes back in asking why the bike is riding funny .... The poopall has cut off 3cm on the one side of the bar and left the other side as is! http://barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/homer-doh.jpg Pants Boy and Tumbleweed 2

NotSoBigBen Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Then again the UCI are also responsible for rules like:- 'socks to be shorter than the mid-point between the ankle and the knee' but I guess that will upset the kompressie kouse lads more than anyone else .....
