looking for taller bars..

[OCN]

do you need zero offset forks to run these Swiss miss bars.. i know the bars them self have a 3mm off set i believe.. my ride is the KHE militant LT i want new bars wheels etc but my Question is can i run them on this set uphttp://flatlandfuel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1308  i can find measurement.. anybody know if not any recommendations

the offset of the forks will not effect what bars you can ride with em, the steer tube length will. and usually most work as long as they're not like 160mm just measure your steer tube

SwissMiss has 31mm offset and it's like your current stem I believe so your bike won't feel much different.

what about KHE Bram bars with zero sweep.. sounds like zero sweep would be more comfy on the wrists and make hang 5's easier and other tricks

[Qij]

I think taller bars even more but this all is just about habit. Weight makes riding easier though.

Wrong.


Go hold two straight tubes in your hands arms out stretched. This is why we have backsweep.

The Swiss miss aren't exactly tall as far as bars go. There are no specs on those bars on your flatfuel link so I don't know how tall they are, but the missies may not be much taller.

That includes the stem though. It's roughly the equivalent to running bars that are a little over 7".

any recommendations ?

If you want to feel 0 sweep bars, wait until i get back to japan next week and i will let you feel mine. Personally i prefer 0 sweep, its more comfortable for me.

ok cool .. it seems like it would be easier to apply equal pressure for hang 5's and such... i think i might like it
