benadeja Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Hi , Just a question from a newbie , I got a Raleigh RC3000 and my Girlfriend got a RC2000 , now she got plain handlebars that is the same width all the way through , now my handlebars are flat at the top it's Easton EA70 if I am correct , what do you name my type of handlebars that are a bit flatter on the top than the normal handlebar , and what do you experienced riders' on the hub prefer and why ...
Tankman Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 like these? they are called flat bars or wing bars i use the pair in the second photo on my racing bike and normal ones on the training bike. i find the flat bars way more comfy on long rides and like the hand position on them when climbing. i dont like climbing though!
Yang Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Tankman, love your signature of the chipmunk cheeks chewing nuts. I have the FSA K Wing bar on my Giant training bike, and these integrated stem flat handlebar on my racing bike: I won't go back to the ordinary round bars. Yang2009-10-14 15:33:13

It doesn't match your colour scheme
Yang Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Hahaha. I guess I like contrasts and opposites. Speed and slow, slick and sticky..... yin and yang.. That pic does it.

AndreZA Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Okay, here you go. You are using aero handlebars. If your GF's bars are trully the same diameter all the way through then it is the old "standard" bars. The newer bars all have a bulge in the middle where the stem clamps and that is call OS or oversize bars.
Mr Mulebar Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Except for the PRO Vibe handle bars where the bar is 31.8mm all the way through
benadeja Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for the advice guys it explains a lot.
Yang Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Yang... what do those bars sell for? Hi Samma- they were about R3,500.
