Impacted. Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Get the tough bars, they're cool and apparently none have broken yet but i've just sawn into mine with a hacksaw so if anybodys bars break, they'll be mine and mine are still going strong!. And one inch wider isn't gonna make much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) You'll be suprised, Koxx bars are 30" I believe and pazzaz bars are 29" (apparantly) and I can feel a whole load of difference, koxx bars you feel like your flying with wings they are too wide, yet pazzaz are really nice. Does 25mm make that much difference on a wheelbase? Yes it does just as much as 1" will on bars.

Chris Cook Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yea i rekon it makes quite a lot of diffrence from the slighest bit longer. :D The Pazzaz bars seem to be the best choice but i havent seen the flat ones on Tarty i thought they had the flat ones :P ?????? I dont want the koxx bars they are TO wide and i dont like the way they feel as well. Whats them BTs like as well ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Have you looked at the Onza Carbons? Or the Woodman Wild n Wide TT's? Think they are both around the 29" mark. Edit: If not get some bar extensions made for your own bars :D Edited August 11, 2005 by Badboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 The Onza Carbon Flat Bars are discontinued. ← Why's that? :D My onza carbon flats are great. Wouldn't mind the raisers though instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsriderjim Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Why's that? :P My onza carbon flats are great.

loffa Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Get the tough bars, they're cool and apparently none have broken yet but i've just sawn into mine with a hacksaw so if anybodys bars break, they'll be mine and mine are still going strong!. And one inch wider isn't gonna make much difference. ← My mates Echo bars broke after about a year of use. Anyway I'd suggest either a Koxx bar or the Onza carbon riser bar.

munkee Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 the onza carbon fibre risers are the fecking sexxxxxxxxxxxxx. I used to get pains in my wrists from using echo bars and monty. They were a bit too swept for me, but since changing ive had no trouble at all they ride soo nice to. Couldnt bum them any more, well worth the price tag.

Rich Pearson Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 My koxx bars have lasted well over two years of use, showing no signs of damage yet. And they're uber wide so you can cut them down if needs be. Tried and tested by a whole lot of very good riders (not including myself in the list of course... :D ).

Endohopper Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) I'm with Badboy's reccomendation on this , Woodman's Wide + Wild TT bars are excellent at 730mm , reasonable weight and little flex . ( as shown in pic in sig :D . ) Available in any colour as long as it's black . Edited August 11, 2005 by Endohopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Humm i might try the risers. Not really sure though I will either get them or the echo or zoo's Chris :D :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon W Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 gotta be 30" onza carbons :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 gotta be 30" onza carbons :D ← Yes, or zoo bars as they are what i run on my t-rex. They have the width of a flat bar but the nice shape of a riser bar, best of both worlds. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Both the zoo risers, and the onza carbon risers are very nice indeed. I run the onzas but would have no complaints in using the zoo's either. I know you dont want this riser malarky, but it might be a welcome change :D Edited August 12, 2005 by JIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Why not be a cheap ass and get some BASE riser bars? 28" and same rise as the Zoo! bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Ok. Well whats the diffrence really bettween risers and flat bars ? I will get some onza carbons probably if there int much diffrence :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
