Ali C Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 yo' fools I am wanting to get some new bars in 25.4mm clamp as I like the springyness it gives. I am pretty partucular when it comes to feel though. I like a nice upsweep, but also a bit of backsweep, but not too much. I like my onza carbon risers shape, anyone know what degree rise and backsweep it has? Same with azonics bars as I am tempted by either some single walls or b52s. Also Easton have changes their shape I believe?.......anyone tried them? I know I could always tip bars forwards, but I aint a fan of doing that. cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 the atomlab street gi bars have a real good feel but are a bit weak :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 and heavy :- edit, just looked them up, the are the complete opposite of what I want, they have no rise and 12 degree backsweep!!!

rich4130 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Eastons dont have as must up angle rise compared to azonics, there pretty flat and not as nice feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I had some easton ea70s a couple of years back, I remember them being pretty flatish, are you sure the new ones are the same? I heard they have a fair bit of upsweet, maybe 8 degree or somthing, but also have the same amount of backsweep, so I just curious to know if anyones tried the newer ones as they sound pretty good tilted a little bit forward (and I know that a contradiction of my first post :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nafan Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I use some old azonic wf risers... Can't be bothered to change them, mind you I had a ride on my mate's new t mag 05 and the onza sweepers on that are pretty sexy... Nice and strong too as far as I can tell... (Y) Good luck with whatever you go for anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
