[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I want to fit a nitto riser bar on my bianchi pista and after some web searches I 've found the below 2

B-201aa
http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Bendy%20Bits_files/Nitto%20Risers-1.JPG (25.4mm)

B-259aa
http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=188_429_413_808&products_id=5285 (on Hubjub website they say it's 26.0mm but some site states it as 25.4mm)

So my question is which one I should go for? Without actually looking at it they both seem to be identical to me. Is there a difference?

Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

b201aa has no sweep (back towards rider) whereas b259aa has sweep backwards.
b201aa has bulge at centre of the bar, b259aa has shim bonded to the centre of the bar (cheaper to make 25.4 and 26 options)

edscoble

they're both lightweight (the AA at the engine of the letter signify that), the riser the handlebar the more comfortable, so if I were you, go for the one that you can afford.

if you're going to buy the B-259aa from Ben's Cycle, might as well get the B-201aa as it probably cheaper and easier seeing it's in the UK.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
