bars

[Bos]

As far as space goes' date=' I ride 710's and even with the kink there's enough space for a Garmin, 2 lights, extra big grips, a kiddie seat, 2 mates and a medium size boerboel. I do find i endo a lot though [/quote']

 

niceone!! can you imagin the looks you wil get If you pitch up with those Sam hill extra wide things!!..800mm??

 

Now I know why you ride 710mm bars (obviously freeride bars) cause you put so much sh*t on there..

 

Bro, tell your mates to get their own bikes....your "mates" could be inmates as we have been talking about lots of bars here... mmm...

Thank you #pete# that was the answer I was looking for. Makes sense and adds value to other opinions I've received.

 

As for the width of my bars - my flatbar is about 55cm. So with Spaz grips, bar ends, polar mount, shifters, brakes and remote lockout I can hardly fit my lights.

 

As for baggies - I like them and went up Sani pass with them until I found bibs. I find baggies creeping up my legs and cutting bloodflow to my feet :-)

 

I know I cant post questions and specify the reaction, but I've seen to many times how subjects get hijacked because of "cult followings" or preference and not factual data like #pete# gave. (I'm referring to debates like "which bike do I get?" ends up having debate on which bike is the best and almost 6/10 times it is Specialized vs Yeti vs etc etc and not discussing it on merit.)

 

I appreciate the comments.

 

The Minaar is Gregg Minaar. On the Collective you introduce all the riders with funny nick names or name and surname, but when it came to Gregg Minaar they just say "Minaar" :-)
