it just upsets me for some reason

jonaent (Jon) Scott, why such huge clearance on the front forks?

thats the way they make those brooklyns. was horrified to find out if i took the front brake off my surly steamroller i'd be faced with a similar canyon, albeit not as big.

Fuck off.

possibly meant in an ironic sex pistols way

kowalski Might be worth checking if it comes in different versions, then.

Hubjub list it as 26mm, IIRC.

only comes in 26 according to the nitto catalogue pdf i saw, but it could have been old...

nae bother a shim will do me fine

saw it evans the other day. looks really good

kowalski Don't forget yer shim if you're gonna use the UG with 123s.

yeah cheers got that covered. although brixton claim on their site that they have the ug with 25.4 clamp

joe_b fair play it looks nice i want to get the pearl stem but not sure how to fit it to my bike as ive got a stem a bit like the one you ordered on it now? im a bit mechanically retarded. im worrying over whether to get the 36cm bars or the 38 cm ones and also what type eg steel or alu?
i want narrow track drops but dont want them being a pain in the arse and i think the 36's may be, but on the other hand they may be really nice and ride well? decisions decisions! they are a bday present anyway from my brother so i want them to be right!

the pearl is a quill stem if your headset is 1/18 it wont fit. you need it to be 1" to have that stem - mine is 1/18 only reason i am getting the ug1x ahead stem.

I'd go for 38 to be on the safeside. and i prefer the aluminium as its lighter and not as shiny as the cro mo, but thats just personal taste. make sure you check what style you get 123 is a different shape to 127

nice one joe. i am ordering the ug1x stem from that guy. have you ordered yet? it says the shipping is only £7 hope thats true

veloturista

porn?

maybe the readers wives variety

joe_b i have fairy hands as my workmates call them!
im ordering the bars from japan as they only come to £24 with postage(45 was about the cheapest i could find in the u.k),
so im gonna go for the 38's to be safe incase the 36's are a pain. its not much difference and i think having a bit more room for my hands on the top will be better.
thanks fr the replies:)

less to do with big/small hands, more to do with shoulder width imo. are you getting cromo or alu? i hope you dont get stung by customs mate, thats the problem with ordering outside the eu £24 with shipping is bloody good though, can you post up the link where you're getting em from?

cheers

h2o I have the 38s, and find them quite comfortable but I couldn't go any smaller because there'd not be enough room on the tops for my hands - the curve is quite dramatic on the track bars. if you have big hands, don't get the 36 would be my advice.

my mate has the 36 123aa (aluminium), i tried em and i could probably get used to em but they're not that comfortable. i've got the 40 123 cromos they dont look that much bigger and are morecomfortable for me

Scrapper Wanted - some non Japanese track bars
trade - anything
