no brakes, and platform pedals doesn't look right either.

(do you have to use a shim?) i would switch to them if i knew i could cut them as short as my flats.
http://scoot.net/gallery/bbs/15months534.jpg my bars are 43cm/1.5" rise (I think!) with oury's, I cut the right grip for the brake. I've tried lots of bars and always come back to risers.... |
i like these risers from azonic for only $29.
http://www.azonicusa.com/catalog/ima...ip-bar-blk.jpg http://www.azonicusa.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=193 I've been thinking about putting a brake back on. how much are those goldfinger levers? i see them on the tokyo bikes a lot. |

I have risers on right now. They feel too wide but it is def comfortable riding them in this weather. I also use the goldfinger which works great w/ a shim

Man, you all are getting me amped on putting some risers on my bike, now I'm just going to have to find some. Those azonics look dope!

My risers are 2". I'm not a fan of how it looks aesthetically, but it's comfortable. I feel boring on it w/o any seat to bar drop

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Garage-002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...esInGarage.jpg I think i want 1" next. My cancreek solos headset has plenty of spacers so I can bring it down an inch. |
How wide are those?
And where can I buy chrome-colored/unpainted aluminum risers on the cheap? |

1. Post thread. 2. Ridicule first person to answer question. 3. ??? 4. Profit! |
1" rise, jaguar stem 80mm, chopped, ourys, goldfingers at the bend.
honestly, i think the jaguars are great but a neutral angle would probably be more comfy, but the downangle and risers make it really responsive for the city (aka twitchy) http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/3889/barsetupck6.jpg |

i haven't been able to figure this out. i watched some dude a couple of days ago wobbling awkwardly around a corner.. i've seen people riding them not so awkwardly but it just made me wonder again.. i've never ridden them myself and i'm not knocking them, i just dont get it. |
don't worry about the width. ride them with your hands in different positions, then cut accordingly. shoulder width is about as narrow as i'm willing to go. keep in mind the wider the bars, the more leverage you can get.

Ok, fork rake and geo may have more to do with that. But I rode a bmx for a number of years, and when I threw some risers on, I felt like I regained a lot of the nimbleness that was missing when I had bullhorns. Maybe that's just in my head, but I've read on here of many other people making the same claim. I stand by it.

Im calling BS on that, other wise roadies would be riding them on Criteriums. They have no advantage at all, since you can ride in the exact same position on the tops of drops or bullhorns.

easton ea30s. cut down to where the ourys fit right to the bends.
