had them for about a month and loving it. i mostly commute through the city, so it's a great position to ride in. i can swap for drops at the park/track and bullhorns for long rides, but these stay on there the rest of the time.

those of you with gold risers:
where'd you find those??

Yeah, specifically which risers are on your bike, Skelly?

:D

If those are Simtra, how did you manage to get the logo off?

I used spit to get my grips on, and it doesn't seem to wanna dry...

Mine are flat, can we still be friends?

Anyone know some risers with a little more sweep?

I ordered the gold Answer Pro Taper's from like 3 places and waited 2 months and they said they could not get them instock. So I ended up getting these.

so i wana go with risers but i want to be able to cut em down and still have a good flatis grip any suggestions on what bars to get, the ones from pricepoint look pretty good but wanted to see if anyone cut those down?

go to your lbs and see what they have. check the used bins.

Bench vice + saws-all + metal blade = risers at whatever size you like

Pipe cutter. Much easier. Your stem is the bench vice. Your bike is the bench.

i used hack saw, with the bars in the stem. There are also tiny little metal flakes all over my bedroom, and I am too lazy to clean them up.

Threw these on a couple of weeks ago. Nice..

You have a front wheel that exceeds the value of your entire bike.

aren't the spin trispokes actually relatively inexpensive compared to other composite wheels? (and pretty damn heavy)

Just an old Spin wheel my lbs had lying around. Got it for cheap.

there you have it

sorry no, you're wrong.

Uh, I cut down a pair of bars this afternoon with a six-dollar Harbor Freight pipe cutter. It worked perfectly.

x100...ive used pipe cutters to cut probably 10 or more sets of bars in my life. No problems. Aluminum or 4130

six dollars does not mean easier

i could cut through bars in a minute with a sawzsall

I cut my flats with a pipe cutter. Took a total of 5 minutes. Also cut a 2mm off of my fork with it too[that took longer]. Pipe cutters work wonders. If you use a hacksaw, get one of those special tools that limit the direction the saw can go, so you can get a nice straight line.

I could set hand grenade on my bars and be even faster. Or i could used a cutting torch. Or use a plasma cutter. Or a laser!
Theres always a better way. Cheaper?..not many. Sawzalls cost a lot more than 5 dollar tube cutters.
