Johan A Marais Posted December 21, 2009 Share Is this a personal choice or are there advantages/disadvantages in riding with either one. Especially when it comes to climbing and single track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leet22 Posted December 21, 2009 Share One of those unwritten "style" rules. Even though I have them on mineI dont see anything wrong with them. Never had much style and grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell on of these days we will see mtb's on FTV designed by Oscar de le Rente and Gucci. Ride them the way you want and not the way others tell you to.

AndreZA Posted December 22, 2009 Share Riser bars are intended for trail and other real mountainbiking. That is why they are a bit heavier, sturdier, wider and have more sweep. You can have them on your XC bike if you need a more upright position but why not just raise the stem instead. The reason you do not put bar-ends on risers is because you never use it on a trail or real mountainbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mob Posted December 22, 2009 Share I thought there was a strict no bar ends rule on flatbars too... So that's no bar ends all round... Also if you ride a carbon hardtail you must ride flatbars. Dual sus is OK for riser over 3 inches of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
