Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Are the bars on the Crosscheck a pair of On One Fleegles? I've been wanting to try out a pair of them on my ss mtb but I'm afraid it will make the bike feel more like a town bike.. Anyone got experience with them?

Yeah. I have Fleagle Pros, initially uncut, now cut to about 50cm(ish?)

If your going from risers to Fleegles on a mtb they'll be slightly lower and with more sweep. They're 0 rise because they're meant for 29ers with hight front ends.

The sweep is really comfortable and good when your out of the saddle and pedalling. But I don't tend to do that on my mtb because I've got gears and I'll get better traction (and go quicker) If I do it seated. You'll probably like them for SS. The pay-off is the bars are not so good descending rocky steep stuff and when you've got your weight over the back and your covering a brake.

I took them off the mtb and tried them on my tarck bike for a laugh... and they're amazing. For me they work best set lower and on a shorter stem than I would with risers. A bit like racy, narrow 'tasche bars. Massive fun. Not as good a bullhorns in the hills, or for squeezing through gaps, but a brilliant compromise.

They're going on my new build*

*and I fully expect to get shit for this.

Hmm thanks. To get the bike running I installed a straight flat bar because that's what I had, but for XC riding I want them to be a bit higher. So I will need either a riser bar or a higher stem if I decide to go with the Fleegle. I like the look of the Fleegle but a tall stem would probably ruin it.. A pair of risers bay be the most sensible solution.

^^ holy shit, that's bad

Don't know if this is a repost or what

I'm feeling both of these! CMYK looks good :-)

Olli Erkkila bikes are not anti-porn, he is far too knowing for that.

why???? bristol..

Tight, lose the spok and id own it.

Because he can't be bothered to ride in an uncomfortable manner?

perfectly normal TBH if you want to ride upright for a bits.

Tight, lose the spok and id own it.

And lose the front wheel, chainring and pedals, probably the cranks too.

And the saddle/post, fuck it, its a shit build.

And the tyres are too big. So much so that the radius of the tyre is too flat for the seatpost cutout.

what? You're posting bikes in the opposite threads.

The fucking shame.

shame? That's a beauty.
