Raab Posted March 5, 2014 Share Chaps, I am thinking of putting a riser bar on my SS, currently have a rather narrow flatbar on it.What handling changes should I expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Chaps, I am thinking of putting a riser bar on my SS, currently have a rather narrow flatbar on it.What handling changes should I expect?That depends on how your current setup is. Do you still have a spacer or two stacked below your stem that you can remove and lower your stem should you want to / need to get the level of your grips and handle bars where your current setup is?

Hairy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Wider is nicer BTW .... with wider bars you will have better control in the rough and on a SS will have more leverage when grinding out on those mother climbs. win win .... Wil6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip. I have a spacer or two that can be removed. Currently the riser is moer of a wide, will trim it down a bit. Going to match the color scheme of the rest of the bike nicely (that's all we really care about isn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wide shoulders but it was too wide and my lower back could not take it. Cut it down to 760 and it's perfect! Now when I climb on my geared bike with a 680mm, it feels wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not buy a loaded bar and cut it shorter. It has cutting lines on the handlebar especially for that. Edited March 5, 2014 by Wil6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
