It always has me wondering why the UCI hasn't followed the FIM in making levers with ball ends mandatory. If the bar end can penetrate that lever can too. Jewbacca 1

I have personal experience, positive luckily .... Fell damn hard at a race in Heidelberg and landed with my stomach directly on the end of the handlebar. Was taken to the ER, luckily just a 'hugemongous' (as my 4yr old granddaughter says) hematoma. In fact it has never gone away completely. Thank heavens for bar end plugs! Jewbacca 1
RustyHWR Posted January 23 Posted January 23 This is what happens when you luckily got bar ends/plugs in your handlebar and wipe out.
Super Sywurm Posted February 14 Posted February 14 (edited) I am very tempted in buying this green machine. It seems I'm to tall for this bike. Edited February 14 by Super Sywurm ChrisF, Titan Racing Bikes and Danger Dassie 3
Koos Likkewaan 2 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Some advise needed. Looking for a decent quality DS for my son, but on a very tight budget. Around R13k Been looking at the Titan Cypher Sport 120 for a while now. I see some second hand deals that does not look to bad. Would still have frame warranty. We are doing B&B 2 day together in June. Would this be a good bike, or should I look for something else ?

For reference, at 180cm the Med is a perfect fit for me, and the Large is too big. The size guide says I should be on a Large. So best would be to pop in at the dealer and do a fit or at least confirm the size in person.
