Sup.
I built up a bike for my sister who has issues with arthritis and says that the bars are putting excess weight on her hands as they are relatively flat.
It’s a Pinnacle hybrid type bike and has something like 25mm rise mtb bars on it.
I’ve been looking around for something with a decent rise but not really gotten anywhere.
I’m not quite after ape-hangers but most stuff I’ve seen only goes up to about 35mm rise.
I’m thinking about 50mm upwards might be good to try and there are a couple of options I’ve seen out there but they tend to be upwards of £60 odd, which is a bit tasty for experimenting.
It’s a standard 31.8mm clamp which I guess I could use shims in for maybe something like a bmx cruiser bar, but they’re expensive too.
Other ones I’ve seen are 600mm wide or less which is a bit narrow I think probably.
So, anyone know of anything that might be worth trying that doesn’t cost a packet?
