Bar Positions

<< < (3/4) > >>

crazy foool:
im my opinion bars in line with forks(slightly back) on modern bikes gives the best steering, not to quick or to slow , also they seem less likley to slip

I understand the geometry side of the argument, but I just can't ride with em in any other position than straight up and down. (perpendicular to the ground).  I have a 21"tt so its not an issue of length,  fnar fnar......

Its much more likely that people starting riding now on newschool stuff simply set their bikes up similar to their mates and then just get on with it. Once they've got a feel for the bike its a little tweak here and there and thats job done.  If they then took a 20 year break from riding and came back, I'd bet a pound to a pinch of shit they'd set their bars up to be very similar to how they had them way back when.

On the subject of stability, there's probably an argument for having the bars set so the grips are directly above the axle. Having them forward of the axle may add to the shopping trolley effect, having them back may add a twitch or two.

I dunno.  It's late..................
