Mr Bob Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Hi, just wondering if there's any real benifit of cutting my rage bars down abit, They feel quite wide at the moment but if i cut them down would it ruin the feel of the bike? For those who dont know they are 730mm (28.75") wide . If so how much should i cut them down by and just with a ordinary saw? cheers josh.

bigamac Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 It'll give you less control fo'shuree. Any specific reason to cut them apart from feeling to wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) They give you different control. Thinner bars make the front wheel easier to turn but harder for small adjustment and visa versa. Edit: Appaling spelling.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Try before you buy: Move everything in by 10/20mm and ride it for a bit, see how it feels. If you like it cut them, if you don't, don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
