Bars - high rise, q...
 

[Closed] Bars - high rise, quite a lot of sweep, 25.4, moon on a stick?

At present I have some high rise Easton EA70 (maybe 50?) monkey bars. I like the amount of rise, but I think I'd like a bit more sweep. I've previously used Mary bars, which I liked, but I'm not sure I want something 'that' sweepy.

Now, I know I could get some flatter sweepier bars and add a higher rise stem, but the stem I have is already a 15deg rise so that's not so easy. Plus, it's quite a nice stem (Thompson) so I'd be loathed to have to change it.

So, does a high rise, sweepy, 25.4mm bar exist?

Sunline V3s might still be knocking about cheap, I had a 25.4 set.

oops, sorry, that was 31.8, not 25.4 - the mk.1 wingbar is 25.4, but might not be wide enough.

A quick Google shows that there's still some folks with them in stock.

Having just looked at the On-One and CRC websites it would seem that the rise of the Mary is 37mm and of the Eastons is 40mm; I thought there was more difference than that. Maybe I experiment with the Mary's...
