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!

hey, everyone do one thing, until everything is super homogenized and then one of us will be a revolutionary genius and go completely against it. THEN, we'll all slowly follow them until things are homogenized again and we'll start all over. AND we'll do all of this with total disregard for what actually feels right!
hey... you guys started without me, NO FAIR!

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.

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.
