Sam Nichols Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Probably not worthy of a topic but i'm used to running very short riser bars on me trials bike.. normally cut down a standard pair of risers by about 2inches either side!!I've just purchased and fitted some wide easton ea70s with not very much rise. I wanted something a little more trialsy.It feels terrible I don't feel like i can gap as far or anything. Anyone else had a similar experience? Should I ride it out [so to speak] or cut them down?

Krisboats Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Big bars are great. I love mine. Going from echo flat bars to 30" onza carbons was a life changing move for me, and definately for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, I ride some narrow bars on my 24. Not sure how wide they are probably 24-25 ish. Anyway, whenever I ride on bars wider than 28 it just feels terrible and I can't get used to it. BUT, on the whole, people like wide bars and that's not a coincidence. I reckon you'd get used to them. Besides, the ea70s aren't THAT wide are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'l see you on Wednesday and see if your just being silly...Jim used to run Ea70s on the Ashton if you remember and they never felt too wrongMind you, your old bars did feel pretty well suited to how your bike rides I'd ride they out Sam and if your still not liking they by monday change they back so you can ride to you best at the Libjam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
