Inspired by threads here and elsewhere about drop bars off-road, I've fitted them to my bike (rigid single-speed, 29").
All is not well though.
I've got Midge bars, a hi-rise stem and Avid BB7s from the classifieds.
They're fine most of the time.... but going down a couple of reasonably bumpy descents I found that my hands started slipping backwards down the bars and away from the brake levers.
Is this normal? Do I just need better bar tape? Or should I just get some proper wide risers?
