amey-
Out of curiosity, what percentage of your bike style/setup tips do you think I'm taking on board? Just a finger-in-the-air guess? :P
They were chopped down almost 6 years to the day for slick-tyred, commuting duties.
Now everyone rides 800mm bars on their shopping bikes so I reckon some nice skinny 780mm flat bars should help honking the overgeared pile of shit up hills a bit.
hippy
I've got chopped "Race Face Deus XC Low Riser" risers on the Inbred and need to swap them for something approaching full-size MTB bars again.
What width is normal these days (I had DH bars that most XC bars are wider than now) and what's a good bang for buck option in 31.8?
Any reason to go to flat bar instead of a riser?
