I'm 5-10' and 760 width for me is about right. Plenty stable at speed and yet it gets in between trees. I rode 800's once...too wide for my taste and they suck ass in single track. Even 780 is pushing it. Do a lot of ST woods. 760 gets me through the tight stuff way quicker and fits the trail.
No, the bars were advertised as 40mm rise and then in the description it said xcb7llk40 or some shit. I never would have guessed they were 740's or I wouldn't have bought them. I assumed they were regular 800's trimmable. I really don't think 10mm hang out is much, but I may as well just have...
Who bought used carbon bars?
Anyway, I am just going to return them and get a set of 800's like I usually do and trim them. Just trying to avoid the hassles of sending them back. Thanks for the replies.
I bought a set of carbon Renthal Fatbars Lite. I didn't notice, and it wasn't very well shown in the ad, but they are 740mm width. I run 760's on my bikes. I can send them back no problem, buy the 800's and cut them to 760. Question is...would it be crazy to just cheat the length to 760mm by not...
So...the bike you want is not available anywhere locally. You are forced to order online and have it shipped to you. I guess there is no warranty. I have ordered 2 bikes online...One from a Husky dealer out east and one from Jenson. Both said all warranty, parts and labor would, could be handled...
Boy, it's good car companies don't pull this shit...gee, sorry sir, you bought your car from another dealer. The $12 part is covered under warranty, but we're going to charge you $200 labor. If you are a Giant, Trek, or whatever dealer, you should uphold the warranty on those bikes regardless of...
Well...since my longest rides are probably 2 hours, it's not huge for me personally. I definitely notice they are more compliant and I feel like I don't have to grip the bars as hard...if that makes sense. Where I ride there are a lot of rocks and tree roots. My hands definitely feel better...
I use my rear brake a bit more than my front when riding my emtbs. I kind of trail brake with both brakes in turns, but usually use my rear brake to assist in fast turns, like a MX bike...kind of skidding the rear at times. I am not left handed but I am fairly ambidextrous, but I never liked a...
I rode and raced MX for decades and I hate the front brake on my right hand on bicycles. My Magura's were that way and I simply swapped the hoses. To me the rear brake being on the right makes so much more sense when riding a bicycle. It's like the rear brake on a motorcycle being on my right...
For the longest time I was an ODI Elite Pro grip guy. Loved everything about them. Until I took a chance and for fun bought the PNW Loam grip. Bye bye ODI. These Loam grips are next to perfect in basically every way. Great grip, comfy as hell, quality seems excellent...plus they have like 10...
I totally get the work for the ride thing. But, I simply turn down the assist sometimes for a mile or two then go back to mid boost or emtb mode depending on which bike I am riding. I get plenty of work when I ride. Plus, it's really comes down to the enjoyment factor. I literally have never had...
Just looking for opinions if regular mtb's (non-emtbs) even really matter much to anyone on this site any longer. As far as myself, I don't even pay attention to anything that is not emtb. A regular mtb wouldn't even interest me at this point after riding my emtb's for 3 years now. A non-emtb...
