...that don't cost a bazillion pounds?
I like my Stooge Moto bars but the rise will be too much if I put them on my Fatty. Really don't want to start flipping stems.
The SQ Lab ones look great but I really don't want to spend that much. My O.O OG bars feel a bit too sweepy and narrow after the Motos.
Any ideas?
Salsa Bend/Bend2? They might have a little bit of rise though.
Using On One Fleegles here. Not that wide, but I think they grew a bit. Only 15 degree sweep but 716mm wide now. Only 25.4 though (wtf?) so you'll need a shim. Fleegle pros are in 31.8 too but only 660mm wide.
I've got fleegles, they feel quite normal after a few rides, not sure if that's good or bad!
25.4 and 720mm wide for £5! Fitted with some cheap shims off eBay and they've been fine.
They're a seriously heavy set of bars though, not just 'budget OEM' weight, properly heavy for a set if XC bars!
Someone suggested they have a wider effective width too as your wrists sit further out and the brake levers don't need to be as far inboard for 1 finger braking, so if you measure from brake lever to lever you gain quite a bit. Never checked the validity of that statement though.
I've got a shed full of fleegles that are far too narrow.
I'm now rocking a fashionable 780mm.
