Advices for HANDLEBARS
« on: February 02, 2013, 07:27:36 PM »
HI all !


I'm looking for some advices about handlebars.


I've got this one :
DEEP - ESCOBAR
Rise : 8,25" 210mm
Wide : 27,5" - 698mm
Backsweep : 5"
Upsweep : 5"
Weight : 760g

But I feel is too wide and not to rise ?! Maybe it's because I've got a darwin frame around 18" top tube. I bought the last Fenix frame of Viki Gomez in 19,8" top tube. I haven't tried it yet !!! So I'm looking for change my bar and I hesitate between all of this :
FENIX - BAR
Rise : 9" - 230mm
Wide : 23,5" - 597mm
Backsweep : 0°Upsweep : 0°
Weight : 754g

ARESBIKES - AY FLT (actually, my choice)
Rise : 8,86" - 225mm
Wide : 25,6" - 650mm
Backsweep : 3°
Upsweep : 1°
Weight : 700g

St MARTIN - AJ
Rise : 8,75" - 223mm
Wide : 27,2" 690mm
Backsweep : 2°
Upsweep : 1°
Weight : 858g


HERESY - ASCEND
Rise : 8,5" - 216mm
Wide : 25" - 640mm
Backsweep : 3,5"
Upsweep : 4"
Weight : 809g


What do you think is the best ??? I'm 1m85 tall.
I believe for all nose manual tricks it's better to have got a riser bar. But not to wider, because it's hinder me
With my Escobar I can feel it.




In the same time, I think to change my Magic Fruit stem (I don't remember the model) for 
ARESBIKES - ARESTIC AG
Lenght : 30 mm

Weight : 191g

But, I can see on pictures, the axle of the handlebar is lower than normal (...) stems. Can you confirm it ??? ! THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR POSTS !!! (I'm sorry for my written english!!!)PEACE !!!

Do what feels comfortable for you,have a change around and use the bars you feel most comfortable with.
