- How wide should your Mountain Bike handlebars be? | Unboxing Renthal Fatbar | Carbon handlebar Installation | MTB: Join me as I unbox my new Renthal Fatbar Carbon Handle Bars. I will then test my new Handlebar with to see if I should run 780mm or 760mm handlebars on my Intense Recluse Elite Mountain Bike. I begin with the installation at Jax Bicycle shop in Murrieta, then we go the testing grounds, and then we conclude with my final judgement in regards to if Im going to run 780mm vs. 760mm handlebars.

It's always a good thing when the trails convert every leap year, to the new wider standard. Midnight, Feb 29 it's so cool to be out there, and watch everything just magically move over to allow the new stuff to fit through every tight corridor, and the trees pull up roots, scoot over, and plop back down precisely 30 mm to the side.
lol, nice!!!
Dude! I loved how informative this was. Great review :)
Thank you so much made so incredibly honored that you enjoyed it
That’s so cool bud, there are still good people out in this crazy world. Your videos are chill as sh#% and totally down to earth. Renthal Fatbar is my absolute favorite! Keep it up shredda!
dude thank you Mike thats a great compliment man, so stoked
Enjoyed every minute of the vid. Well done
Honestly, all the credit should go to the bike mechanic. This guy is just a hipster with a camera.
Glad you liked them 780 seems like the perfect sweet spot
Yeah, wondering whether to go 770 but as for now going to keep 780 won't be going back to 760 though.
I have 78cm bar (780mm) and 40mm stem and i like my current setup. Sometimes it's hard to get throught tight spots but in fast downhill it feels so good.
dude yeah it can be a pain when I travel to new trails outside of my local areas.
the wide of the handlebar depends on your height and wide of your hands im only 5'5 guy the 780-800mm wide is so weird in feel
my sweet spot is 750-760mm wide
I went from 720 to 800. Love the stability i get over rough ground..very rarely have issues with tight trails.
wow thats crazy 800 is no joke glad to hear they working our of you!!!
the wide of the handlebar depends on your height and wide of your hands im only 5'5 guy the 780-800mm wide is so weird in feel
my sweet spot is 750-760mm wide
Went from 660 on my XC bike to 780 on my new all mountain bike. It's been a huge adjustment but I'm starting to feel more comfortable with it. My biggest worry has been clipping the bars or smashing my hands on a tree!
I've got the same Renthal bars. Keep in mind after you install grips and end caps, they width is probably closer to 800mm than 780.
Hmmmm good point but I don't use the whole grip!
Just picked up a 2018 Gaint Stance 1 and it came with 780mm bars I really like them and im coming from a 720mm. Be blessed
Dang man that is quite a jump, dude so stoked you are enjoying them send me a pic on my Facebook, i''ll post it. Dude, thank you, stay even more blessed!
tntneon MTBiking j
I just picked up a Giant stance 1 and I love my 780mm bars.
tntneon MTBiking I got the same bike it’s great
@@MTBdropIN I jumped from 680 to 800 😂 I just love it, maybe because I'm 1m 91cm
In case you don't know: You can use the reverb remote clamp for your front brake. It'll clean up your cockpit and save a bit of weight.
I ran 800 and 780 for awhile. I didn't feel any benefit from the extra 20 so I trimmed them down to help with tree strikes.
Im starting to feel how turning is a bit slower with wider bars as i experiment over time. I really don't know what you are referring to in regards to reverb remote clamp i need to look this up, thank you!
Just ordered renthal bar and stem. Can't wait till Monday to put it on.
Dude, whaaaa? So stoked for you man, let me know what you think of then as soon as you know!!!
I've always used 800mm and sometimes I have to slow down more than I want in order to go through a tighter section
I hear ya I'm thinking of shaving them down I'm noticing I'm having some trouble in the fast flowy stuff.
I use 780mm
awesome review man! It's awesome to see that you're an amazon affiliate, I was thinking about doing it, but I still haven't gotten around to it.
Yeah, man its really cool and it helps for sure. Hey make sure you start a website first or they will not accept you when you do the application.
riding tight single track on the east coast means 750mm. Sure, I like a wider bar but i also like not beating my knuckles against trees aside the trails. i even cut my enduro/cross country/Hare scrambles KTM bars down to 29" = 736mm to fit through the trees easier.
dude, yeah i actually did hit the trees just yesterday i think 770 may be perfect for me.
those Renthal bars are DOPE!
Dirtnap300 , I feel your pain having to run more narrow bars as I ride Western North Carolina and the upstate of South Carolina.
I have had few tight spots on narrow single tracks where the 780mm has been almost too wide. But that has not happened so often.
I feel the same i feel like tight places like that are kind of rare in my parts.
“I like stuff to match” No doubt 💯 agree. I’m 5’7” and my intense carbine came with 800’s and I feel they may be a tad bit too wide.
I now run 800s 😂
The wider handle bars will reduce arm pump, they will reduce joint slipping issues,but of course when I ride hard in very technical terrain or do street riding, the joints slip, but on more xc and asphalt or gravel riding switching from 720 to 800mm has made a huge difference.
Dang so you went thcan full monte, hey man habkbyiu for commenting and helping this community come more educated you are a vital part of this community thank you man!!
chest pump is real and landing your chinny chin chin on those 890mm bars will remind you that your elbows are a bitch at times. lol
That bike tech has some serious knowledge.
Yeah, dude is the GM at Jax bicycle shop very knowledgeable dude for sure 😃
I went 5mm loner stem and 10mm shorter bar for the trail riding thru trees galore , huge benefits and carbon fat bar is better for wrist ache after more then 5 mile rides
I also went from a 625 (650?) stock bar with a super long stem to a 720 and a short stem. man what a difference! I love it, but I cant imagine any wider.
Wider is beter :)
I run 780's and have no issues other than a few of the skinny bridges you have to dismount and rear wheel walk over. But no issues with trees or ultra tight trails so far so good. I certainly wouldn't want to go narrower than 760, but 780 is the sweet spot for me
Yeah, i can agree i like bigger that 760 I'm wondering now how 770 may feel, due to my size this might be my sweet spot but Im not sold yet on shaving them.
A comfortable bar width depends on arm length and the geometry of your bike (stem length etc.). I just put on some 800mM bars on my hardtail and found them too long. I'm 5'9 with a 70 inch reach. 720-750mM works and feels best for me on this particular bike.
Dude right on this was very helpful!
XC racing - 650-720. Downhill - 720+. Within those ranges, take shoulder width and arm length into consideration. I race XC with a very long and low stem and use 700mm. I cannot sprint efficiently on anything longer and I get the stability from the longer stem.
So stoked thank you
Like ur vids.... Mtb myself here in central California..... Question : what's the rise on your bars?
Nice vid like always.
After 30 years of ridin' (i'm 54), I run 760 mm RF NEXT 35 carbon bar with 50mm ATLAS stem and pretty happy with them.
I'm 5.10 and try 780, but I think is too much wide for me. Just not feel so comfortable.
I don't think that 20 mm of width make any big difference for terrain I ride (and is very mixed one).
Between 760 and 800 yes, it is difference, but hey, come on 10, 20mm, nope.
Think that all depends of rider shoulders width and comfortability on the bike.
Leave Young kids to play in their courtyard with 800mm bars, someday every mountain will be Whistler lol, lol.
Anyway I'm not big fan of shaved bars. I like their original made size.
Again great vid, and interresting project too. Keep doin' dude.
Dude, thank you so much, I really agree with ya, 780 makes me just feel safer in technical sections, I think that is why I'm enjoying them so much right now..
So far I have not had any issues with wide bars on tight trails, but unless you try to ride between 2 tight walls it should not be an issue, but some times there are enduro tracks that do that, I saw a clip of EWS run and the course was going between 2 rock walls, so the riders had to run with narrower bars than usual.
Johannes Nilsen yeah man some trails can get really narrow
if there are just not so huge trees, it won't be a issue, but trees can be an issue too, it they are of the fat kind, then its like a wall, because you cant turn the bar and lean to go trough. But in my area three are no fat trees or trails going between rock walls.
Manual and twist the bars to squeeze through?
I realize that's much easier said than done.
No need to manual, just twist will work.
I use RACE FACE Sixc 35 800mm, but I have not noticed any flex in the bars yet. But I notice flex in my 2014 fuel ex 7 29. But the vibration damping was very notisable.
i notice alot of the vibrations are less on mine now
I am going to try the Atlas cranks, I loved the Turbine cranks, I am satisfied with the sixc bar so far, the turbine dropper too,my bike not much, I recently dislocated the left rear bearing, the frame is way too flexible, trek called this a trail bike, but it's junk.
I will have to look for proper frame or bike now:-(
BTW I saw on mtbr.com that race face updated their sixc bars to 820mm
Your quality is improving every video I really think you are going to grow big it's just a matter of time
Max you make my day man, thank you so much. seriously, you give me the drive to push for this dream. Max all I can say is Thank you!!!!!
MTBdropIN no i should be the one thanking you
800mm spank vibrocore for me and I ride a small frame (basically the same height as you)
all down to personal preference - I went from 680 - 711 - 750 - 800. wouldn't go back to carbon as its far too stiff. can't remember the last time I got trail buzz with these vibrocore bars
also stem length has an effect too on body position. longer bars + shorter stem
wider bars also make the front end lift up more, I climb with my hands inboard
Very interesting, i myself am thinking of trying a shorter stem
I've tried 60, 55,50,35. Settled on a 50m with a 10 degree rise. The other stems haven't gone to waste though as they are on the rest of the family's bikes lol
I'd try a stem with 10mm less length. It will reduce the twitchy feeling with going wider.
hmmm, sounds like a plan, hopefully will be finding a way to get the renthal stem soon or in ten years ha ha
crazy cool how your whole family rides, thats what this channel is all about!
easton, spank, rsp - TBH they are all pretty much the same, I wouldn't buy a stem just because it matched the bars. The spank stem was just a coincidence as it was the length I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. My bro inlaw has the apex stem with the fat bar light carbon (740) because he is anal about that kinda shit lol. no way would I pay £80 for a stem.
This is awsome I love the video
Dude so stoked man thank you so much your comment means a lot my new friend!!!!
At 5-6 I would think 760mm would be more than adequate...
Good luck w/ the 780's ^^
Totally, but I'm liking what I'm feeling ha ha
Going from 700 to 760 on a Scott Scale (XC Racing), first ride will be tomorrow... bit wide for the XC world but... couple years ago 700 would be too. hehe
Awesome vid man love it
Chris thank you so much man!
MTBdropIN keep em coming man , love ur style
Right on man!!
I have 740's on my Trek Xcal-9 and just got a Spider 275c with 760's. On my close by trail that I ride often, I did two laps last night and clipped the same dang tree just barely on the bar both laps (didn't wreck though). It's a pretty tight trail in that section, I'm gonna see if I can get my tires a little further from the tree and make it without clipping. I will say this though, I don't think I could ride this particular trail with 780's on it.
Good vid again MTBdI..
I had to ride the trail three times to get used to it and then I just got used to the size and was able to make slight changes to my ridding to compensate for the longer bars. Thank you so much man for the kudos.
Are renthal fat bars compatible with race face atlas stems ? Already own the stems ( 2 different lengths ) and was thinking of getting the renthal carbon fat bar , , gets too expensive if you have to buy new stems as well .
Love your vids man keep it up!
thank you so much man that means alot man stay tuned more on the way!!!
that trail looks soooo smooth Im so jealous lol
Blessed to have lived there
Hi.. whats the rise on your new bar and how many spacers your using? Thanks
"weight weenies"!!! :P hahahaha...
dude... 900mm bars are NEXT! ;)... just throw a damn broom handle on there.. haha
I think 900mm bars should already have been on the market, as there are huge people out there . But so far I have not seen any 900mm bars.
i agree... although 800 is probably the MAX that i'd go, being 5'8"... but for my GIANT friends out there....... 900... 1000 ? ;)
800mm is a blast in the open, but I've bashed my knuckles on a few too many trees. 😭
Slowing down in tight places is definitely needed, a also cornering and balance practise is needed, I slow down and turn my bars in one direction and lean the other and turn back to pass tighter trees if there is tighter trees I just walk around which is never for me.
In the desert (Fruita/GrandJunction/Moab) we just have ROCKS to worry about ;)
My is a 810mm 50mm rise on my Evil Following 50mm stem. Badass set up for a 6foot tall trail rider
Thats a fat bar ;)
I just switched to Raceface Next carbon 725mm bars and they are perfect for the trails I ride, which have loads of tight tree lines.
dude stoked you found what works for you
i actually went down to 760 from 780 on my mondraker because steering was too slow. cool bars!
Thanks man!!! Yeah I'm thinking 770 would be a good spot!!!
MTBdropIN ..pretty certain bike geo plays a role.. at least for me.. i found w 780mm..i kinda oversteer at times.. im switching to 770mm.. not sure if this wud help but heck.. experimenting w new stuffs makes things fresh!! Watching u from sunny Singapore dude!!!!
running 780 renthals myself, love it and a shorter rider on a medium bike.... PS I go the stem too, lol.
Dude, so jealous I want one really bad ha ha
they are a real nice bit of kit, you will not regret.
If I order this handlebars and stem combo what should I type on amazon?
Alvin Enobio Renthal fatbar carbon 20mm rise/ Renthal Apex stem (you choose what length you want)
I'm watching this vid right now and I have the urge to ride my bike at the park
Weird question because I'm pretty OCD, I bought a renthal carbon fatbar and am using a cheap stem to get the fit right on my new bike before I buy my apex 35 stem, I noticed you used a stem on this like the one I will be using first then you switched to an apex stem, did this first stem you used scratch up the bar where the stem contacted it? The apex stem doesn't have the full plate up front so I thought scratches would look pretty bad when I switch to the apex since it shows more of the bar.
lol I'm the same way and thought the same thing, honestly I can't remember for sure if it did or not, if it did it was not a huge deal, however its gonna peal and scratch even with the rental stamp, but I guess it did not rub or scratch anything under the cap now that I things about it.
Thanx for the video . I just got a new bike it came with 180s. After the first couple of rides i felt they were a little big. Mostly because I over shot a few berms. I notice in a few of your turns you came close to over shooting them. I'm 5'8" and of all the things this is what i noticed the most. Just wondering if you have ever shaved anything off? And did you notice this more as you rode with them ?
No I really haven’t and I have greatly improved on my cornering since this vid, I think you will get used to them but maybe 770 will help but no I have not shaved them stil 780 😁👍
im also 5'6 and i went from 640s to 785s and it was great
Ha ha rigjtbjn man
What made you switch from the scotts genius? That’s what I am planning moving up too. Asking to for others thoughts. I currently have the scotts aspect. Loving it! Just tired of the hard tail. Wanting something easier the back.
On the back**
Dude after watching this video, I went to the garage and seen that I have 750's ?? WTH !! I'm 6 feet, 275 lbs and broad shoulders.. Lifted weights for many years.. I immediately got on line and ordered new Truvativ bars , 800mm 25mm rise 31.8 .. funny thing is that I just changed my stem from a 700mm to a 500mm same brand Truvativ ... Thanks for the head up,,
Lol dude glad to get you hip to what’s happening lol
780-800mm for seems hard to steer on technical switch backs. If I’m
Descending on wide technical section it’s stable. Pros and cons
Dude there is only 3/4" between 780 mm and 760 mm on the bars and that is 3/8" on one side of the bar, how much difference can that make? Now carbon fiber and aluminum or steel bar now we have some difference.
Bob, thank you for your comment, you have no idea home I appreciate them. To answer your question there, is a huge difference in the feel, I got on my buddies bike the other day, he has 760 and I could tell a serious difference, 760 to 780 feels more different than one might expect.
Haven't seen anyone talk about body position maybe because 10 or 20 mm one way or the other doesn't seem like it will matter. However, wider bars brings you slightly more forward on the bike. Point is, it should be mentioned..opening up your chest cavity a little bit, etc....just more things to consider, than just splitting the gap between trees and easier handling.
Hey Jack thank you so much for this point, I love to be esicat d and learn as much I can awesome point and comment
There are other variables that help with that as well like back sweep etc. No one is running a straight bar ;)
Agree. The noobs out there (like myself), should be given as much info as possible.
I went wide at first and wound up cutting them down to 770mm. I think it is also a shoulder width thing. Nice vid man!
You know what man I think I may think about cutting down to 770 that may be interesting.
MTBdropIN Also I rode around the neighborhood with my grips off until I had a comfortable spot and marked it. Turned out to be 770. Peace out
dude thats a good tip, dually noted and will probably attempt very soon!!!
I think a good rule of thumb is that bars should be long enough to stretch from one hand to the other.
🤠🤘
Tony, where the heck are you at. I'd like to check that flowy sections out. Looks good to get some good downhill practice in. Though just to let you know, my Yeti SB5.5c has 785 width. I really enjoy it, and the stability is amazing for me.
We all need to get rotgether then ha ha
I can definitely see the benefit if you live someplace with wide open trails like you have, but where I am people are constantly clipping 760mm bars, I'm used to riding 740mm, I tried some 780mm and it felt like I was driving a school bus, really stable but really sluggish.
ha ha, yeah it can be a bit school bus at first lol.
I run my bars wide pretty much. I ride dirt bikes with renthal bars so I try to copy that to my mountain bikes just to keep the same type feeling I also run the same grip style half waffle style. Watch out about running a wider bar you're a smaller guy as you run a wider bar you're also leaning more forward too so you don't want to run to wide. Wide bars do give you better leverage to a certain point but really what kind of Leverage do you really need on a mountain bike so just be careful with the wide bars does. The Wider the bar the more you lean forward. For me I like to sit on the bike or motorcycle close my eyes put my hands out in front of me where I feel comfortable and then set them down and see where they land and judge from there. I've been in mountain biking since the mid-1980s I've seen a lot of fads come and go it's like a circle it comes around I think we're going to see the multi front chainring again in the near future I think the 1X is not suited for most people. One last thing handlebars are like anything else frame size, seat pedal shoes one size does not fit all so you need to try and find out what you like and stick with it.
Dude very good advice and I really appreciate it 😎🤘
I will be very surprised to see 2x come back though
Sick video!
Im curious, what trail is this? I live in the inland empire as well. Would love to check this place out with my trail dog!
yeah man maybe we can do a dog run, send me an email mtbdropin@yahoo.com
i got Renthal 780mm and they are the bomb, put them on my 2 Haibikes Xduros fullsevens. carbon rims rocks as well, but the future is coming and eMTBs are taking over!
Not here man no one likes EBIkes out here ha ha. I support the evoke community though I think they definitely have there place!!! Dude so stoked for your comment man keep em coming brotha!
MTBdropIN sales show people are buying them up and all the companies are focusing on pedal assist class one eMTBs u just don't look for them because they are the future but keep up the good work. eMTBs are changing people's lives uphill flow is a new thing brother try one on your channel I'd love watching it
Definitely when I get my hand on one it's gonna go down ha ha .... or up? Lol, for sure man can't wait to see where the Mtb community goes!!!
It's trending? imma buy yay!!!!!
What 😎🤘😂😂
Yeah I'm having trouble passing very tight stuff at my local Red trail, with 750mm bars! Sometimes you can't have it all. I'm thinking in shaving my bars 1.5cm each side. Bike Trek Remedy 8 medium frame.
I mean it’s a rough call by if it’s your local trails you may want to make the sacrifice but honestly 750 is pretty narrow for today’s standard
hell yeah zane
I like 950mm bars with a chain stay length of about 200mm, and a head angle of around 19°.
Dude that’s huge 😎💪
im 5'10" and trying 780mm for the first time coming from 750mm, i feel i spend most of the time worrying about catching trees then enjoying the trail, think mine are about to see the sharp end of a saw.
To each there own and everyone has a different home teails you may need to
I was looking to switch my road bike bars to flat bars-
I have a specialized tarmac..
Any information would be appreciated
Oooh I wish I dont really have any info on that subject
What is the rise on the handlebar he put on your bike? try the 800mm before you choose to cut them down
20mm
MTB question ? Since a Rock Shox yari is the same chassis as a lyrik can you convert a yari into a lyrik ?
Wow that is a complicated question, I will ask Jordan when I get home from my trip, He works on suspension all day non stop.
Awesome thank you in advance
Taller people like wider bars, you get more stability but control is a different story. Too each their own for handlebar width. They say the width of your push up is the width of your bar. I ride 755mm. Started at 780mm but just felt too wide.
Totally see your point!!! I should measure my push up
Thanks for a quick frame of reference.
Great video!!! What’s the rise on these Renthal fatbars? Is it 20mm or 30mm ? Thanks
20mm
Dude it's not better now but it will be you know what I mean it will dawn on you when you forget you have new bars
dude, yes there is a new factor, but I think I'm still enjoying the length, i could not do longer though
I wanted to upgrade my mission 2 with some of the same bar and stem combo.... How do you like yours so far
I like it but if I could I would go with a renthal stem
Great video, what grips are you running on these bars?
I think intense at the time.
on a road bike for a 5'0 female. what size handlebar do you recommend?
770 760 most likely widest I would go
Hey, whats the rise on your Handlebar
That noise at 12:10 😂😂
lol, right on man ha ha
Jordan is the man 🤘🏼
Miss that dude a ton
Maybe I should upgrade my handlebars. I'm still using the same bars off of my 05' chameleon. 685mm
Sounds good man best upgrade you can make
Some Trailbikes at my local bikeshop still have 740mm and even 720mm handlebars
That’s weird
What rise did you go with?
this trail is awesome
hah a yes its my favorite
So what he's saying is, he went from 760 mm to 780 mm and he felt more in control... because now the steering is slower. Meaning the steering Arc is longer. Not sure how that could actually feel better. I would agree it's down to ride or preference but on the trail 780 steers like a pig. Downhill I totally understand you don't want a twitchy steering bike. I'm running 680mm. I can't stand wide bars... I want a fast steering machine on the trails 👍
I have been finding that my steering is in my technique and how i position myself not necessarily the handlebars, but I could be wrong thats just what my initial impression is.
the wide of the handlebar depends on your height and wide of your hands im only 5'5 guy the 780-800mm wide is so weird in feel
my sweet spot is 750-760mm wide
Im only 13 (5 foot 4, i know im small) and i run 800mm bars. I had 780 before but 800 seems better to me
Dude that's crazy do you do a lot of bike park?
What are some trails you ride??
Did he use carbon grease on stem? Curious. You can also use some carbon grease and not have to clamp to the max.
Curious..... when it’s brother gave you that scar! 😎🤘
Wider bars should be more stable and less twitchy. I'm sure you'll dig them.
I love them!!! Hanks for the comments man!!
man just trust that those bars will work for you, and your technique will adapt.
I'm pretty much guaranteeing they'll make you a better rider everywhere..
TRUST wide bars are better, especially when you got one of the best brands for free!
hell yes lol
What about angle of bars? Do you rotate it forward or back more?
I just eye ball it when it feels right, it feels right. I think Jordan set mine up a little pushed back then I was used to but i got used to it.
I get wrist pain pretty easily, so I rotate them back, which seems to help a significant amount.
I found my 700mm bars to narrow. The 800mm bars are too wide. I cut them down to 780, still too wide. My last cut reduced bars to 760mm, much better. It’s just a matter of trying different sizes.
😎🤘🤘
Hey, man....I did some quick calculations (simple proportion type) against a 6ft tall rider using 780mm bars. At 5'7" you should try 725mm for same experience assuming that is really a straight comparison with no need for accounting for other variables.
780mm at 5'7" against 6'0" rider is 725mm. Ride some 725mm bars for an apples to apples comparison given your height. So....you should be riding shorter bars according to the math you are already riding beyond 780mm at your height. Your experiment should be to go smaller bars. The math doesn't lie. It's 42% of your height. 42% of 5'7" is 725mm. If you already ride 800mm....your way over what any of those guys ride proportionally. Good luck.
There is actually no set rule, people have tried, but everyone’s build is different in some way and I could never be comfortable with 725, I do not have the same confidence, i actually ride 800 now and I’m loving it and sending it bigger then ever
MTBdropIN This video is doooooopppeeee just like ur new bars. I recently cracked my bars and whalst watching this I thought wth it’s worth a shot so I was wondering if I would have ur old bars ( don’t feel obligated to say yes I don’t mind on ur answer)
Ha ha, no worries man worth a shot right. Unfortunately, my wife has dibs! Who stock bars are far too narrow
MTBdropIN k man hope ur wife loves em
hi sir . . can i ask that used 760mm handlebar sir. . . i wish i could ride my cheap bike with your used 760mm HB . . Thank you. and advance merry Christmas .

honestly, in the video, you look more stable while riding with these. I'm gonna have to get me a set. Alex Chamberlain rides these. He's got a good channel.
Ha ha thanks man and yes Alex chamberlain has an epic channel!!!
I run 780mm and it is the best!
seriously I agree
Im 5'9 still i dont know the right wide handle bar for me.. Planning to buy renthal to
🙌
Do you Floop? I chased a guy that looks like you this week ! 😄
I don't think so , because I don't know what floop is?
I've just bought the 760mm for 52€ on chainreaction's website.
nice man let me know what you think ;)
What rise do you use?and what is better
I always use 20mm, I would never go above 40mm rise.
If you ride for more than 1 hour mostly straight the wide bars case wrist pain.
I haven't had problems yet I don think :
