Still thinking about new bars... These are a weird one, they're basically gigantic (780mm) XC bars. Now this isn't an xc bike, they'd be going on my Hemlock... I'm a lightweight guy though and I've never had any issues with bars in the past (the bike has a set of Havens on it now). So they'll be strong enough for everyday use but I'm a wee bit less confident of stiffness and durability- this bike gets crashed!

So, just wondering if anyone has any experience of these- whether they'll just be out of their class and I should go up to the Iodines or similiar. They're well priced at Wiggle just now so it's tempting (might end up cut down a little)

Cheers!

i had a set of the 700mm ones on my ibis mojo with absolutely no issues, and i crashed a lot!
They're a slightly weird shape though, i didnt find them as confortable as other bars i've used.
