Riser bars or flat bars? Width?

[fatcyclist]

 

Then again, GoLefty!! also keeps telling me this setup is wrong for me...

I was fortunate in that my LBS allowed me to test a few different stems, and we only cut the steerer tube once I was happy It's a WIDE bar

[TitusTi]

Wow, fats is that the only time you've been on the bike this year? I don't believe you! I think you just super-imposed yourself on the backdrop!

[MichH]

That's a SERIOUSLY wide bar (chuckle!). After clippin a few entryand exit gates at Logwood, I'm ready to cut the bars!!

[GoLefty!!]

How couldI miss you FAts, You're so................wide

 

 

oh and that set up is all wrong for you....

 

bars are too wide

 

fork and rear shock travel is not balanced. You're too far back...

 

 

But each to his own hey,each to their own.

[Thug]

MichH, try Arran Brown from Cyclefit in Greenside. Charges R250 for a complete bike setup.

[MichH]

Sounds like a good move, thanks The Thug.

 

Knowing you I guess you've had a MTB set up?

[TitusTi]

Oh, here come some fighting words.

[fatcyclist]

TitusTi: I just find it odd when some people ALWAYS know how I should ride my bike...people say I sit too high on my road bike, yet I have no pain, and I have the results to prove that the setup works for me. Same for the Blur...I chose the components for specific reasons, and I have no pain after hours of riding. I ride my bikes, I feel the discomfort if they're not set up correctly, not someone who _always_ feels they know better but don't have to ride that specific setup...

 

Then again, each to his own...next I'll be told how to ride my track bike by someone who has never seen the inside of the Velodrome in Bellville...

YOu see Fatso, for me it's not about the winning or the beating, it's about the enjoyment, the fun, the understanding.

 

For you it's about being first to the top of the climb.

For me it's making sure you eat the horse sh*t i just rode over.

 

This learn you must. For it is here where you will find enlightenment

 

The journey is long to maturity unless you're a Rose`

[TitusTi]

Hey, if you dig it, you dig it. But always have an open mind, sometimes small tweaks do help. Like my saddle height, it's different on the road and mtb, but both bikes work as I've set them up. And I know they're comfortable for the long distances.

How are you going to manage that if I'm ahead of you?

Yup, correct, done by Arran himself !

Fatty: Where was that photo taken?

Going downhill??!!   LOL.no wait.........:ROTFL:

[fatcyclist]

But if I get to the top first, it means I enter the singletrack first......and with my wide bars, you won't have the space to pass, and since I'm nice and fat, I go downhill fast as well...

Now go find the other half of your shock
