I'd like to buy a Ragley Wiser flat bar as seen [url= http://www.ragleybikes.com/2011/01/piglet-first-look/ ]here[/url] (at 2.23 for the close to terminally bored).
Now I'm guessing that [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58688 ]this[/url] bar at Chain Reaction is the flat one as per the above video, CR's picture not withstanding. The proper risers are [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=54258 ]here[/url].
Any confirmation? My rational for calling a 5mm riser bar a flat bar comes from the below diagram, taken from [url= http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/niner-announces-new-carbon-flat-top-9-handlebars/ ]this[/url] page.

yes and no
Yes it's the flat bar but no it's not a riser? Great (I so hope I've understood your answer correctly)!
It's CR's description of it as a riser bar that put me off, that diagram just explained to me why they might have done so - I'd agree it's a nonsense!
It's strange because none of the pictures of the bars look like the one in the video. (and Ed calls it a flat bar.. I haven't seen any of the 'wiser' bars described as flat)
All bars are narrower in the grip/control area that at the clamp. The narrowing on the 'flat' bar is done in one direction, meaning the centre of the grip area is 5mm higher than it would be otherwise.
On the bike, it'll look like a flat bar, but actually has a little rise.
Thanks miketually.
