 Posted: Wed 17/Sep/08 9:04pm Post subject: I Need New Bars And Stem... What The Best One At The Moment? |
  |
|
The bars on my Reign are too narrow and the stem is so flexible you can easily flex it by twisting on the bars!!!
Whats a good set of bars to replace them with. I want to go to much wider bars and reasonably flat as I prefer the bike to be set up DH'ish.

W3rd, gravity lite bars come in 25mm rise, and 2 widths, 710mm or super wide 800
you can also get a matching Gravity lite stem, nice and stiff avaialble in a few lengths up to 105mm

Depending on your budget, check www.pointoneracing.com for stems. Lightest and most tortionally rigid stems on the market at the moment - and seriously nice kit to boot.
As for bars, there's a plethora of good product out there - Easton carbon, gravity light, sunline, burgtec etc etc.

So who sells Gravity Lites? What length stem does everybody run. I was going to go to the short stumpy type like on my DH bike! Also what widths are people running?

Any good bike shop should be able to get Gravity for you, NZ agent is www.wideopen.co.nz
on a trail bike I normally run a 50mm stem, like on the Dher, but a-lot of people seem to run about 70mm and a 710 wide bar IMHO

Yar. Had them (the carbon jobbies) on my 'free for the past year, and love em. I've just got a set of the "lower" rise (25mm) carbon bars that will be going on soon too...
