Looking for nice bars to replace the standard flat bar on my 529
Ideally after 760mm with a little bit of rise.
What would you look at?
Does 35mm make much difference?
just got some spank vibrocores. impressed so far.
You wont go far wrong with these, you could hang on and see if they get below £30 but still worth it at £40

Original Renthal Fatbar. They just feel nice, not so stiff your wrists get wrecked and 780mm.
It just depends if you like the gold colour or not.
All the bikes I've tried with 35mm bars seem to harsher on your wrists/arms.
Personally I think it's a new 'standard' that isn't needed.

Nope. My Instinct has 35mm and it is completely un-noticeable. Sus forks move up and down underneath it you see.
I bought some Sixc bars as recommeneded by a few on here and they're good. (31.8s as they are on a different bike).
Im a bit uncertain about carbon bars for me as Im 18 stone so not sure if there is a weight limit on them?
With a short stem like a 35mm, I reckon you will have ~40% of your weight over the front, tops.
Renton I'm in and around your weight and ridden carbon bars for 10+ years starting with Easton monkey DH
There all good! Only time I've changed them is to go wider or a really big crash! See if crc have still got Easton stuff with a big discount they had 750 bars at a good price.

Shorelines have the last of the half-price CHromags
do you have a link please as all I can see are the ones at £70 odd quid
Use Code CHROMAG50
damn no black ones left !!
Easton Haven 35 750mm wide bars less than half price at CRC, light at 188g, so shouldn't be as stiff as Havocs. Just got a pair for my new steed 😀

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Ideally I'm after a 780mm bar with 15-20 mm rise in black if anyone knows of good deals about.

I'll second this. I thought the whole vibrocore thing was just marketing. Nope, they eliminate a lot of vibration. I'd definitely use them again.
Spank spike vibrocore here. Not light but they do reduce trail buzz
Raceface atlas are always pretty comfortable i've found, i've also always got on with burgtec and currently running a pair on my nomad, had a pair on various bikes.
