The ergonomics of those bars are almost perfect for me, with the flat portion behind the hoods there is now a perfectly flat area for your hand to rest while on the hoods. The drops are nice, and the flat top is nice for taking a break and sitting up. I've had em for about 6 months now, put...
Much crisper shifts, lever throw feel is improved, the shifters feel better in my hand, the hoods are more comfortable, and 20 gears vs 18 :D
Downside is I need to replace my Flightdeck wireless mount since the sensors in the hoods have changed shape.
Absolutely loving it, only thing I'm still planning to change is going to a 8" x 2.5" rear shock to take it to 6.1" of rear travel instead of the 5.5" it has now.
Never had a chance to use it for downhill since I live in flat azz Houston, but for urban stuff I love it.
7" ... 05's got a 150mm fork so since the only changes were minor from 04-05 I was pretty sure the 170mm would ride ok .. and it does. BB height changed from 13" to just under 13.5"
I'm pretty sure I won't break the 66 like I did the EXR Pro the bike came with.
