They work just fine on my mountain bike. Putting them on any kind of road bike, I just don't understand. They're not as comfortable as North Road bars, they don't have as many position as drops or bullhorns, and they don't allow you to get in an aero position. I guess I'm just not hip enough to appreciate them.

while there's not exactly a shortage of space on the internet, do you have to post a thread with such drivel? i think risers are silly, particularly when paired with deep drop stems, but do you have to care so much and be so negative?

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!

The look where they put risers on deep stems is STUPID AS HELL.
