Muel Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 We need to know more than that. What bike is it? What bar/stem does it have? How tall are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 AH, I had the same thing on my Zona. Try-All stem with Adamant bars.Try tipping them up vertical if they are facing foward.If you want to buy a new set of bars, I'd get something like Monty TI, Try-All Rage or Viv Maxbars, something like that.Bar position make a big difference, if you tip them back so they are pretty much vertical, then it will feel wierd at first but when you get used to it, it's much, much nicer.

PaddockPark Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 change the stem (lighting,cheap,nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Keep practicing on the bars that you have at the moment. You will get used to them after a couple of rides and start to wonder why you ever had a problem with them. If you do this you will also find it easier to switch and ride a friends bike etc... as well as you can ride your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
