Title: Hoffman drag/low drag bars fitting to new school bike
Post by: ash1970 on November 10, 2014, 04:16 PM: Hi,

Can the above be done as I'm not certain about the rise etc

I'm thinking of fitting the above bars from my big daddy on to my anniversary condor.

Will these "fit"

Thanks in advance

Post by: brakedancer on November 10, 2014, 05:13 PM: whats the rise on them...?

think there around 8'' rise

most new bars are around 8'' 1/2

you could allways stick a couple of risers under your stem to raise them up a bit

best thing to do is wack um on and see how they feel..... :)

And who is SHE btw?

Post by: Dannywhac on November 11, 2014, 09:31 PM: Woooooo - Low Drags ain't worth that - they're not really holy grail material either tbh - even the early ramp room one's don't shift for that price (they've got no plug on the stem bar ends).

Edvard's right on getting the Bonedeth bars - Low Drags are, well a little low - ze Boners would be better imho.

Post by: ash1970 on November 12, 2014, 05:45 AM: In that case I'll definitely keep them. I'm looking at offloading a load of components and not spending money on any more new ones and the fact is my condor is such a nice bike I'm keeping it for Blackpool and possibly MK ride outs as I've only been able to go to one in the last four years. Keep your eyes out for shit like new Skool flite cranks, teal tuffs, evo brake set etcetera
