just put some freebies on my beater. still looking for the perfect pair for my good bike. i rode bullhorns for a while, but love the feel of risers better. found it easier to stand at the lights with them for some reason.

Just added some temporary purple risers from a Walmart bike in a dumpster. Chopped with a hacksaw and smoothed with a bench grinder.

Got it 2 weeks ago, replaced the soma drops with these risers that came in the mail today. Cheapy ones from JensonUSA and Ourys (still slippy because the alcohol hasn't dried yet)

I love the look of risers too, but I like to chop my flat bars to 48 or 46cm....can you chop risers this much and still have a full grip on the flat part of the bar? Those who have posted pictures....How wide are your risers?

I hear people saying they use hacksaws to cut down their bars. This tool should be in your box https://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes It makes a fast, clean and very smooth cut. I got mine at Home Depot
