Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That's actually a good idea. Lots of MTB guys who use risers cut them too you know...not just "tarck hipsters". It makes cutting to the right length easy.
Is the little bullseye on some bars to help you center them in your stem is a silly idea too?

i was referring to the cap -> helmet, not the measurement. that's obviously helpful (and has been done for a while) i just thought it was funny how they chose to represent the different lengths.

Oh ok. Yeah, I didn't even notice the hat at first. Ha! I really didn't mean to come across like a dickhead. It was early and I was pre-coffee.

Ha! That's awesome. Pretty clever.

I'd fall somewhere between latte-sipping-hipster and mountain-dew-chugging-downhiller (I cut my mtb bars to about 660mm). I've got a little bit of both in me, so I suppose that's fitting, haha.
