Just got a set of 810mm bars to try.
They're quite wide!
710 is too narrow when climbing on the single speed, 810 is too wide. Somewhere in-between should be about right.
They don't have any more FatBoys in 750 so I got the 810 FatBoy to cut down.
300g though! The Bontrager 710's carbons are half that!
I bet it costs more tho... funny that
Only issue with wide bars is clearing narrow tree gaps... There are a couple of real nasty gaps in the Redwoods at Rotorua...
Yeah... (not Redwoods and certainly not me)

Reminds me of Woodman at the Kikiwa Laidback trail ride.
The Funn's were $47 and the Bonty's were $75.

How hard could it be?![]()
Vicki and I had two great rides last Saturday... Both times we ended up on down hill tracks in the 'advanced' category and we are as far from advanced as its possible to get. No one died, some trees became ground cover and our bikes ended up covered in dirt.. I figure if you are still holding the handle bars you are still riding it... cough... It was a sobering experience... So much so we drank a lot of wine afterwards to compensate....
Can you Nelson people stop crashing and making us look ripe for ACC levies......

Actually two of my most recent big offs have been on easy trails but big speed and tucking the front after the most minor of track debris at critical moments cranked over but still fairly straight flight path...
I'm sure having the Butteragers flexing on the front while the Spunky blue rim was on warranty claim didn't help... Hopefully I'll get my act together and put the decent wheel back on the bike this week.

If the number of people using the trails jumps, it's foreseeable that there will at least be some sort of commensurate increase in incidents. That said, I've screwed myself up more from mtb'ing in 2.5 years than in 10 years of motorcycling
As for the girl that crashed... it was with a tree... it didn't chase her![]()
