These bars had good reviews on first release - do they still cut the mustard, I'm thinking of giving them a go on my 29er?
have you tried the carnegie things mate.
i am gonna try them again.
nice and wide and a few differant positions.
Not tried them no.
I'll give 'em a try, we can compare notes...
Marys do the biz for me... If I can get something very similar but a bit wider I think I would try that instead.. the backsweep and choice of angles is bob on..
I like W-I-D-E bars (~28/29"), also my stems are oversize so I might well go Ragley or Mary route...

if you're going to, sort of make sure the ends point down to your rear axle, or maybe just a bit higher. I should do a diagram...
Perhaps pointing to where, er, sort of V brakes would be... But not not not pointing up (like I saw you had last time).
You sort of "lean into" them.

Carnegie's are very similar width to a 700mm-ish bar.
OK - I'm sold [fetches CCard]
If you saw Nige ride, you'd understand...
Hey careful Mick - I've got video evidence of your mincing now...
Point 'em down:

Hey Mike, are those riser bars? And [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=43715 ]these[/url]
CRC list them as being flat and yours look like risers ??
Those are Mary bars, which have a rise.
The Ragley Carnegies are available with no rise, as you linked to, and with +ve or -ve rise: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=42192 (took me a while to spot which was which) - they're the same apart from a flipped logo.
The Carnegies don't have the forward sweep of a MAry bar, so look more like a 'normal' bar with a lot of sweep.
