Or whatever.
My risers are bugging me, I've 2 sets, one pitches up, others are down.
The down ones are good for xc as the side on my hands don't get sore.
The upwards pitch ones are nice for lifting the tire climbing, my fingers are less strained.
I need bars that are between the two....
..anyway, in the interest of overkill, I've mounted Amoeba 5mm wall alu bars on the bike, they do flex a little, but I believe bend, not snap.
I mounted an aluminum butted crossbrace on the risers and bolted right through the collars and put steel locknuts on =no more flexy, will not rip out the alu threads.
I had to stick little corks in the bar holes, as the thick wall bars only have a 5mm hole and the ODI plugs don't work.
Why I want such a beefy steering setup ???
I dunno...too cheap to buy $$HQ bars today.
So I'm gonna go for a ride and see if I can stand this setup or start over.
