  • I am certain Monoglaze builds bikes to ride

    When he rides it, he'll find out why they should be cut :-) They provide too much leverage on the stem clamp if you lean on the full length, so the bars rotate in the clamp the first time you go over a little bump in the road. If his fit demands that much reach, he needs a longer frame.

    1. Cinelli designed them to be used like that with cable holes pre-drilled near ends.
    2. If you put so much weight on your bars that you need to shorten them to reduce leverage your whole position is probably odd.
    3. These bars are only marginally longer than some other types they just look longer because of shape.
    4. Bars will not move if fitted without grease , to correct stem and tightened to recommended torque.
    5. The hand position is not necessarily right at end of bars.
    6. Cinelli know how to design stuff .
