I have drops and I hate this thread

jdms mvp 09-20-07 10:40 PM

i cut my drops and risers in half and welded them together, to make riser for my left hand and drop for my right hand.

JellyMeetsJam 09-20-07 10:50 PM

itd be kind of cool to have risers with drops coming off of the ends

andre nickatina 09-20-07 11:13 PM

they're called randonneurs.

dddave 09-21-07 03:31 AM

zelah 11-24-07 12:16 AM

**** i want some all of a sudden and i don't know why...

JellyMeetsJam 11-24-07 12:17 AM

doofo 11-24-07 12:18 AM

tehz go back and read all the good arguments for hating risers in this thread and then think again

zelah 11-24-07 12:18 AM

i'm pretty sure i posted a lot of the good arguments for hating them

doofo 11-24-07 12:22 AM

then be true to yourself!

zelah 11-24-07 12:31 AM

i think its since i got this aerospoke i've been looking to cut weight elsewhere, i've dropped 5 pounds myself but risers are seeming like a good idea, maybe hipsters aren't so crazy after all!

doofo 11-24-07 12:54 AM

lol

risers to make up for added aerospoke weight!

shut down the forum this explains everything!

TehK 11-24-07 01:56 AM

hey... you guys started without me, NO FAIR!


kyle! 11-24-07 02:52 AM

i ate a whole pumpkin pie today.


i'm probably gonna gain ten pounds overnight. cool.

ERabbit 11-24-07 02:58 AM

you guys blew this thread up again quick, not that im enjoying replying but i figure bars are bars, anyone could make a "Bullhorns Hate Thread" etc, but what's the point? Everyone rides the bikes and some people choose to ride different styles of bars for different purposes.

Ha. I've got a set that's been doing nothing for months. I used them until I heard bullhorns were back in.

Yeah, that's bull****. I mean, it's already in your mouth so why not swallow?

Straws 11-24-07 11:53 AM

I was in the Riser Hate Club until I put some on my bike last night. I figured I cant truly hate until I try.

uh, i love them. I felt like I had so much more power. It doesnt even make sense to me. I only figure it's because I ride the shoulders of my drops underhanded most of the time so it's discouraging me from really pumping hard, or at least being able to. with the risers I just took off and it felt like nothing.

whoops.

time bandit 11-24-07 12:08 PM

^ yeah man, risers aren't bad if your just going for comfy rides...the haters are just pissed about the looks of them/hipster haters/purists. no big deal what kind of bars you ride.
