[Closed] Mary bar any experience

Great bars, really comfy. Do be prepared for constant piss taking by your 'trail buddies', and lots of little remarks like 'when you getting the basket' etc. 😆

Great seated riding position, but just a word of warning, they're not overly wide so with the bend they can feel a little narrow.

love them
second the comments
"it's like a butchers bike "
can be a bit err sketchy on techhy descents tho

Got two bikes with them on.

I love them, basically find I get less wrist problems, (one of these is a SS rigid incidentally). Absolutely no control problems, and the answer to the shopping bike thing is "Conformist!"

I'm still in two minds about them. I find their sweep brings my elbows in too far, so in order to bend them I have to bend them downwards instead of outwards.

I use them on my SS, and they're admittedly great for climbing.

I have a set - good for touring / non techy riding as they are soooooooooo comfy but I have the same issue as Alisdair above - made controlling the bike in the air even harder for me than it is anyway.

I think I'll end up in the same place as I do with tyres - swapping around on my only MTB depending where I am riding.

i found them ok but never got used to them. one issue i had was that i like my brake levers really far in so my index fingers are on them just before the up-turned end bit. there wasn't enough space for them and the shifters to be set like that.

Borrowed a set for my ss..
Really comfy and great for climbing, but make you feel reeally wobbly on switchback descents.
Still toying with actually buying a set, but afraid I'll get laughed at.. again!

maybe they need a longer stem though..

got a 120mm stem with mine ,just find for fast techie stuff that my hands
get moved inward and i have to keep re-positioning them
great everywhere else
bikewhisperer just laugh back at their generalsed trail-park faddy bikes 😆

I have a flipped set running on my commuter and have finally got a comfy position. I am getting some for my ss as I loikes them.

I have them on my commuter, the SS and the hardtail, Mrs F has them on her hardtail and has just specced them on the SS she's decided she needs 🙂 - we like them.
Half their old price at On One at the moment, too...

Great bars for comfort & climbing on an SS or tourer, but can be a bit erratic on steep, rocky descents. As mentioned above you can currently get a set from On-One at a little over £20 including postage.

However take note, the silver 'chrome' ones are considerably heavier than the standard ones. Worth knowing if component weight is important to you.

i got them for wrist issues - really good. i have them pointing down a little, super comfy - I think risers make your elbows stick out too much for normal riding. I did have to get a steeper stem as the hand position is low like a flat bar. having the same issues with the midge pro now - quite low position.

actually the midge might be a good starting point - less aggressive sweep

I like them a lot. Not sure that they're really a problem for technical stuff personally, but that said I no longer have them on my hooliganish bike.

i like them on my ss. not aggresive enough for the cotic though.
