anybody use the above or like mary type bars please?

yup.. love ’em to bit’s

straight bars feel silly now though.. I’m currently using a Ragley Carnegie’s Bar

it just seems that your hands/wrists fall naturally into a sweptback position.. great for a nice attacking crouch when you’re hooning along swoopy singletrack..

It’s either them or drops for me.

epi – you tried the midge ones? (quite like a dropped mary)

How do people find them for manualing and bunny hopping? They do look comfy but they leave me with the impression of less power to pull up on.
