Object Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 And these are the District bars for comparison. Those are the bars I've got sat at home waiting to go on the Marino when I finally order it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris4stars Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 have the inspired risers changed geometry wise btw?! sitting here with an inspired riser and a trialtech TT high rise bar and i swear they are almost identical! unless im looking at something in the wrong way - i cant see 15mm of difference at all?

Object Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Historically I've always used an Elementary V3 with them on my old Majesty. I'm going to see if that still works but if not I'll swap over to a spare Primo stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly but I'm 5'8" so hopefully not that as many as a taller rider would require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just checked with Inspired too and they've confirmed they're the same height as the Trialtech bars. Would've been good to have known that for when you rang up about them earlier! We're happy to cover your return postage for the TT High Rise bars back to us too if you still want to send them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 it turns out the bars supplied on the Skye are effectively 'high rise' Inspired bars So does that still make them slightly different to the TT high rise bars? I've just changed to a Hope stem (90mm x 10 degrees) but due to the lower angle compared to the TT one (which is 25 degrees) I'm now after a little extra rise on the bars... Was considering the TT highs but not sure whether I'd be better looking either at something more 'standard' MTB. The Inspired bars are already nearly 3.5" so there's not really much out there with more of a rise except the TT's. Options?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 thanks guys! the TT bars are on their way back and im left feeling pretty chuffed that ive got £50 extra and custom inspireds very pleased, thanks (and sorry for questioning it in the first place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inspired bars are already nearly 3.5" so there's not really much out there with more of a rise except the TT's. Options?! The TT bars still have quite a bit more rise compared to the 'normal' Inspired bars, so if you switched to them you'd immediately gain another 10+mm. I just used this stem chart and it turns out you lost 19mm of height overall by switching from the Race stem to the Hope stem, so you'll get back over half of that. There aren't really that many bars out there higher than the TT bars really, apart from the Atomlab Pimplite DJ bars I mentioned before. You'd be needing to change stem to use something else, or bust out a load of shims. Alternatively you can get the Trialtech stem back on, then get the High Rise bars too and have a win front end setup (and sorry for questioning it in the first place) Nah, it's all good that you did in that otherwise we wouldn't have known about it.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Alternatively you can get the Trialtech stem back on Yeah that's what I've gone for at the moment... Anyone fancy a lovely 2011 Hope 90mm x 10 degree stem (31.8mm clamp) in black?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 What were those Azonic bars that Shrews used to run all the time? They were the sickest I've ever seen. Great rise on those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 2.5" doublewalls? I used to swear by those (even when they snapped repeatedly) Nothing will ever come close to those in terms of feel, they're perfect.
