How short to cut bars?

Yesterday. 4:40pm. Didn't even get to finish my day's work!

Don't worry. I saw him shortly afterwards and gave him the mocking he deserved.

Cunt. Cut on knee - fine. Feels nice actually. Innards of knee - hurt a lot and don't work properly.

pussy

if you cut it shorter than the width that allowed you to have a comfortable grip at the widest point, then it's too short.

are you two coming for a drink later?

More than likely. I was supposed to go to my mother's for dinner tonight but would rather rest and be able to work than ride 40 miles tonight and break my leg in half.

Murtle, replied to your comment on the other thread.

Route Canale. James will do an excellent job. Kingsland Rd area.

Cheers man, I'll check it out later this week!

I'm doing that other thing. You know. The one that originally killed easts.

I went to The London Bicycle Workshop on Clerkenwell Rd to cut my bars and they were very helpful and cut em' immediately on the spot for a tenner. Not the cheapest option I'm sure but they got the job done quickly and professionally.

Oooohhh...what killed easts????? What killed easts???

do most people cut an old pair of high rise mtb bars down?has ive seen some nice high rise bars but short in length?

Yes.

But if you want Velosolo has some already cut down ones. If you don't care what they look like (or want to strip them) I have some scratched black hi-rise E70's you can have for a fiver.

Cut them to just the width of your fists, any wider is out.

I'll just leave this here

4 looks about right.

imo it's not worth taking too much off as climbing and starting from lights is easier with a bit of lenght.

Halfrauds is a good place for cheap risers.

Front wheel is QR and it's been put on the drive side, therefore 0 style all round surely?

(I'll chevron myself...)

By the way, do *not *attempt the No. 10.

When I was bored riding down a very long stretch of road, I thought it would be fun to see how it felt switching my hand around.

Almost crashed into a ditch after wobbling at 20mph.

The general rule we use is have the bars that both provide easy breathing (when in drops) and desired handling. Hope that helps, personally I find that extremally annoying when your hands are too stretched to the outside when in drops...
