Dan81 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I need some help choosing a handlebar - so tell me what to buy...I've tried an old Azonic DW which was ok but swept back a bit too much (and lives on another bike now) and a Zoo which is too wide/low/TGSy for my bike....whats a good all-round option for a streety bike (but still ok for some hoppy stuff)?What are you inspired riders using?Should I just get a trialtech and chop it down a bit? (I want something at least 2" rise and reasonable upsweep)....I don't mind around £50 but don't want to go into silly money (£70+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 What are you inspired riders using?Currently running hi rise Easton EA30's which have been really good. With a couple of stem stackers and a reasonable rise stem you'll be laughing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan81 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 are the EA30's and 50's the same shape but just different material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 are the EA30's and 50's the same shape but just different material?Just material and price I think. I've been running mine for nearly 2 years now and they've been perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan81 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 They're quite cheap think I'll give the ea50 a go...Anyone know of a good (strong) 90mm x 10deg stem that costs less than a hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Anyone know of a good (strong) 90mm x 10deg stem that costs less than a hope?EA50 again? That's what I'm running as well- 90mm by 20 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Deity 2014 gets my vote. Beautfiul for street and feels pretty nice for the old trials also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan81 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm still undecided...I don't like a lot of back sweep on a bar cos it makes it feel like a shopping bike....I'll try find a decent pic of the DeityNot sure on the stem either...can't decide between the 90x20 EA50 or 90x10 Hope....I dunno.

zoster Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 some extra up-sweep is quite nice to have, so i would suggest some azonic bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
