  • designing my own bars

    too soon for a list?

    Reason for the bar change was that i'd been getting numb hands for a while now.
    Despite how the ritcheys look, there was a marked improvement in comfort on my 20k commute shakedown this morning over my previous 3t ergonova pro bar setup.
    however i did also do the classic move of adjusting the saddle forward and fitting new pedals at the same time as changing the bars so it might not have been the fault of the old bars at all...

  • I can't find the photos now but what I did was to bend the bars to get the desired flare to allow the levers to sit better. The top of the bars to the hoods concave section is still not ideal but better.

    You can make all the lists you want but it is a very slow process of me drawing the bars, finding the required finances and then Taiwan making me the bars.
