hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have flat onza bars and maybe thats why I find it a struggle to keep the front up after a gap or pedalup or whatever. Maybe I should try these riser bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well my bike has a maybe too long feeling to it, and im not an entirely strong rider. I think riser bars are next on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd91 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i use flats, an i love them might be what your used to or maybe just because i've never really used rise bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Have you tried tilting the bars back a bit just so that it will feel a bit shorterNo i have not, Ill try this and spacers with new stem and if this works you've saved me some knew bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 could try a shorter stem? riser bars lot you adjust the cockpit of the bike, tilt them forward and you get more reach and tilt them back you get less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i've used echo flats and they were sweet to ride with, and i'm currently using zoo! risers which are also sweet to ride with, so IMO they're both good either way, probably just what ever you think looks nicer i guess.

LiamWood! Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i was struggling to get up stuff on my flat bars, so i found some riser bars,i found i loads easier to get up stuff and it was a lot more comfatble to ride with. The try-all flat bars flexed like a mo-fo which i did not like the look of aswel i could just see myself gapping and them snapping and me in A&E lolSo in conclusion i think that riser bars are better, although some people find flat better its just the way they ride i would go for which fells easier for you.Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean J Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Risers are a wonderful invention if you ask me. I really like them, I'm running flats atm though, but it's a short wheel-based crapper anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantallsop Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'v tryed both flat and riser but i find the riser a lot nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i've used both before and i didnt notice all that much difference to be honest ,but i did notice that stackers under the stem make a big difference and also the length of your bar effect the feel loads too .just experiament till you find the right stlye/combo for you.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
