bikeperson45 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Snapped my handlebars two days ago, some try-all ones. So now looking for new ones. I think they were older ones.I was finding it hard to pick the front wheel up before and was wondering if riser bars help this? Or is that flats?Anyone got any recommendations?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Trialtechs are awesome, so are extended montys; I have a pair of extended monty PR bars floating around When you say 'hard to pick up the front wheel' are you meaning hard to manual or hard to pedal up onto the back wheel?Higher (riser) bars will help with lifting a manual, however if youre struggling with pedalling up onto the back wheel then its probably technique at fault. What frame/bars/stem have you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Forteh has asked the right questions.You need to think about the hieght of your front end when it comes to picking up the front wheel.Riser bars will help yes, because they are higher than your tryalls, which I presume were flat?

Dan S Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 No doubt to get a monty riser white bar.!!!!!!The best I've ever had. Even if it crashes one day, i ll get just the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 yes....riser bars are soo nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Were the Try-Alls oversize? unless you want to change your stem as well you may need to keep an eye on the clamp size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) if it's the 'old' ones then it'll be the tryall replica's... which are non-oversized. in that case you're quite restricted to trials-specific riser bars as most are oversized. you can try something like azonic's singlewall or doublewall depending on budget, my old ones were ace! great shape, nice backsweep, in all sorts of rises! and come quite wide too!otherwise the only oversized risers i used are rage bars, they were really nice too and im sure there's plenty of riders out there who'd agree.steve Edited November 7, 2008 by Gandalf the Yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Azonic double wall risers are verry nice, i used them all the time untill recently as the bike i bought came with Zoo bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for help.Bars are tryall yourself replica, so 25.4? Stem is a tryall outland.Is there anywhere in the UK to get those Azonic bars?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 The last set i bought were off chain reaction cycles, www.chainreactioncycles.com duno if Tarty or any others sell em though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I think the Viz Max bars are pretty sweet. The only downfall is the anodise. I'd much prefer a less shiny finish.Super wide so cutting down to the right size is an option. Stiff as hell which was the original reason i bought them 2 years ago. Light? I don't look at bar weight i think they are pretty decent. Generous amount of upsweep so they feel right with my shoulders, and as they are super wide extra upsweep is essential i'd say for comfort. And not to much backsweep which is gastly i find. I like flat bars but the slight backsweep makes them great when the bike is on two wheels.I'm awaiting to try the Trialtech bars. I don't believe what some people have said about them yet, but the pictures show them to have a nice shape. Also specs aren't really reliable i found with trials bars.

Captain Scarlet Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 If your having trouble getting the front wheel up, changing the bars will make some difference, but combined with changing the stem can make a massive difference to how your bike currently rides.
