Mary Bars …. anyone use them ? … views please … lets see ur bars .. H bars

As title, looking at possibly a set of Marys bars for my SS if I cant get some H bars …..lets see your bars 🙂

Ragley Carnegie’s are nice too

i ran my Marys upside down

BTW Tim @ sideways had a delivery of H’s last week

Liking the Radleys as they dont sweep as far forward 🙂 ….. cant see any for sale though 🙁

I’ve got them on my thrown together single speed – put them on after I mullered my hand late last year

They’re so comfortable. I’ve got them right way up with a really short stem otherwise I’m stretched out

I used Ragley Carnegies for a while, and whilst I loved the feeling, stability and, bizarrely, confidence they gave, they also delivered bloody horrendous tennis elbow.

Changed back to normal bars, pain gone. Harrumph.

Kev

I had the fleegle bars on my Scandal, as mental as they look they were really comfy.

I’ve used Marys – really comfy with a rigid fork, I found

Took ’em off as they/I NEED some dedicated bar-ends that take account of the big sweep angle

I really want to like them but they are just too narrow for me

rawland do some ace alt bars, wide too.

I am liking them – comfy on longer rides, but find them too narrow and a tad too far back-swept. When I have the money, I will try out something different.
Oddly, I am also finding a real difference trying to manual with them – maybe some odd wristy thing going on.

Mate’s just got some Salsa bend 2 bars, really nice. Wide with about 20 degree sweep.

Love em!

Got me back on a bike after smashing my wrist up and still use them years after.

Ignore the fashion police, if you ride for hours, they are super comfy

Three years with them now. I intialy tried them after getting wrist ache with straight bars and not getting on with bar ends, have ache free on marys. Could be a bit wider and fitting lights is more of a challenge

Used to have Marys, but Jones bars are better still, IMO. Bit of a price difference though…

Am liking the salsa bend 2 bars 😀
