handlebar go alu la... unless u really wanna go WW

not necessary for sprinting only mar...sometimes just want to vary and change position a bit...

you should join in the discussion...

the OS35 carbon is quite a stiff bar... as long as they did not crash it.. should be safe...

but still better to jus stick with conventional bars lar... the weight saving is not that much anyways...

the best way is actually to go test ride people's bike with diff bars lar... that is the only way to find out how the bars work on the bike...

and wat complicates shit up is also what shifters you use... Shimano, SRAM and Campy all favors one shape over the other... sometimes it is about the reach of the hood, sometimes it is about transition from the bars to the hood... especially SRAM where you can feel certain bars not really smooth... that is why SRAM Red 2012 includes a silicone pad that helps to smooth out the transition...

wats WW??

one W i can understand.. looks like sagging t1ts...

apart from scott OEM bar, i've used 3 different brands/models.

1. ritchey wcs logic II
its drop and reach quite big to my liking. but the top is quite comfy.

2. deda newton
not as comfy as the ritchey. a bit painful when riding on rough road. maybe the diameter was smaller than the ritchey, maybe it was stiffer.

3. PRO plt compact
very compact. suits my geo. but still not as comfy as the ritchey but not as bad as deda.

BH, if u had to choose between steel vs ti, which one would u go with?

i like the ritchey's too.. but haven't try them yet... still trying to hunt down a easton handlebar no longer in production..

i had the pro plt compact as well.. the grey ones right? the shape more or less feels the same as the deda RHM2 i have now but i think the shimano is a wee bit more shallow...

the last one to try is the cinelli... they made a version where the top sweeps back into the rider... if you want a closer feel when you ride in the saddle while climbing... i think that is a good bar... but only made them in anatomic shape and quite deep if i remember correctly...

of course Ti lar... i am still a boyish racer at heart (at times)...

i have no preference for arty farty thin tube steel frames...

if there's a ritchey bar with short reach, i'd get it.

RHM 75 reach 128 drop. and the transition from top to the drop starts early. so with deda u get less straight length at the top

asked ksh about the lynskey. if the size is not available, then have to wait at least 3 months.

then how about your mtb bike??

... Choosing the wrong accessories... A noob's mistakes.
1) I deployed a cateye Rear light on my seat post, but the fastener knob (too thick) gets in my way of paddling and brushing against my thigh. Looking for an alternative rear light.
2) my ultegra front derailleur cage chain rubs when I am on the following front / rear gearing 53-25;23 and 39-11;12T (hate the rubbing sound and wears out the chain if prolong used), as a result, I have been avoiding those specific gear ratio.

Is it possible to solve the issue with the SRAM Red Fd with yaw by swapping it out?
.... or do I have a better alternative?

no mood for now. it comes and goes.

lain kali tanya dulu la. i had similar problem. i went back to the shop and swapped for something else.

no idea la. standard shimano crank?

woohoo my winter bike n+1 is slowly coming together

cyclist n+1 problem

bila mau pasang? kasi tunjuk gambar la.

er... i think u need alil bit of FD adjustment... mine 105 doesnt rub seriously... and recently i only found out that the FD when on 39 position it can be push alil bit towards 53 position to avoid chain rubbing... i dunno what they call it... like a half step b4 engage to the 53...

Same issue as well with my Tiagra, i just avoid doing the big-big, small-small combination. Hear that it's really bad

i get chain rub only at 39x11, and a bit at 12. if i shift the fd halfway up, then no chainrub

evo curve is a swept back bar if i am not wrong... there is a ritchey logic that has a very shallow drop... i think even hianboy's one is quite shallow... from feel la

else, have to hunt for fsa but GH is no longer distributing it...

yeah lar... custom order mar...

you need to dig that up again...
