speak to these guys http://www.freeborn.co.uk

they have the 745mm x 19mm V1 in stock (I just got a pair off them) and they are £53 (normally RRP is £59.99 but they will do 10% off for you)

are these to go on your big hit? looking at the pics it looks like the bars that are on that would be nearer the higher rise version, i also noticed you got a spacer under the stem, so for which rise to get pop the spacer on top of the stem and see how you like the bars lower, try a few runs including some steep runs and bear in mind you will need to weight your bike differently to accommodate your weight being further forward, IMO 711mm would be the best length bars to get as it gets to a point when you're gonna struggle in tight technical sections if you go too big, don't do it just for the fashion whatever you do, last year i seen a 12 year old running 777's with his grips in at least an inch and a half either side (pointless?), maybe try holding the very edge of your grips or slide your grips out a bit and ride round the street, although it's not recommended you try any trails like that, sorry for the long post, jus trying to be helpful, oh and CRC is 50 for standard bars and 69 for some Pimp ones

Ahh thanks for the help , ill have a bit of a play around with my setup to see what rise i would prefer, but i might buy the large width ones anyway because if i dont like them i can always cut them down to a better length !! cheers for the info !!

I don't know if anybody mentioned this yet as I have not read every post (sorry)
But Renthal now has MTB bars Drool I've had then on all my MX bikes and never, not once in my life, have had a problem with a renthal bar. As soon as I need one I'm getting a renthal without question. But I have a new bike so I don't need it...yet.


Edit. read every post, no-one recommended them. So I will.

They look sick, and you can get them in any color, so long as its black or alugold.

Advertising your own company is not allowed on the forums. Sorry.

Buy the Answer Pro-Taper DH. I just got a set and the angles are absolutely perfect. They really are better than any other bar I've ever tried.
