Probably the worst way to go over the bars..... Youd be propelled while your bike just stays stuck betwen the two trees... Rofl.

By the look of those trees, I doubt he was the first to go through there.

Jim-laden (May 4, 2010 at 7:49)

this time its the other way round... that it is too big does not mean it wont fit Razz

they even hacked out two pieces from the trees to help bars fit better. bigger isnt always better in his case

See... following the trend isn't always best...

dodgechallenger (May 18, 2010 at 6:40)

agree...

specializedbighit12 (Jun 1, 2010 at 11:52)

for some people it might be a trend... but for tall people wider bars make alot easier riding you dont get sore arms, i'm 6ft 4 nd i cant ride any bars under 30inch while my arms hurting

Laurence-CE (Jun 1, 2010 at 11:56)

Hmmm i dunno. Im 6.4 and i ride 26inch bars and dont get sore arms. But maybe im just used to it.

specializedbighit12 (Jun 1, 2010 at 12:08)

yeah mabye what kind of bike?

Laurence-CE (Jun 1, 2010 at 12:12)

I ride a Banshee Wildcard...but i rode a Bighit and had 26inch bars on that too. I do alot of jumping and FR...maybe thats why. What do you ride?

jazzeph1 (Jun 1, 2010 at 12:14)

For some reason i ride with a wider stance you could say and it looked weird and was uncomfortable with shorter bars. But when I got wider ones it felt alot better. I think they look Weird TBH

specializedbighit12 (Jun 1, 2010 at 12:14)

ah that will be why, i do lots of DH lol a 2001 Turner DHR with 30" bars hoping to save 65 pound nd get a set of bars that are just over 32inch Big Grin

melonhead1145 (Jul 29, 2010 at 2:34)

wide bars do give you alot more control tho, i got some raceface atlas bars recently and they give alot more control and stability, but i have definately found they take some getting used to in tight trees.

onakos (Jul 29, 2010 at 2:42)

I totally agree withe stability and control thing. I ride a dirt/street bike and wider bars really make many things easier. Oh.. and I don't have any problems with trees.. Big Grin

bunkey (Feb 9, 2011 at 15:44)

Wide bars make me hop and manual like shit on my street/park bike. They helped flat cornering on the DH bike but I cut them down because they sap away any riding style I had. Still have the confidence having used them full length mind.
