Hello, i'm looking for a new bar, i've always been riding dh with protaper with 2'' of rise with a thomson stem but the bar is getting old and i'm looking for something new.
I'd like to have something light, with some kind of the same shape as the protaper, i want a low rise to flat, around...
I weight about 175lbs and i'm pretty smooth but saw some reviews and made me sceptical. anyone rode them? i never broke a bar and i dont want to so that's why i ask. at 160g it's pretty light so i'm wondering if it would hold on for dh riding

i used bmx presta tubes 20X1.125, worked great and they are lighter than regular bmx tubes. the presta valve is easier to work with since it has a screw on it and it dosnt go inside the rim when you put air in the...
pretty easy, remove freehub, remove snap ring on disc side, push the bearing by hitting the axle on drive side so one bearing come out by disc side and and repeat for drive side. remove snap ring from freehub and push bearings with axle. i think you will figure how to place them back
i just saw a good deal on ebay and i wanted to know if one of you tried this saddle in dh. i checked out mtbr but most of the time reviews are not as good as i want em to be so im turning to you monkeys:)
I actually have a nisene ti saddle and it's holding on great, will this one hold on too?
pros ride code calipers with ultimate levers. light and powerfull.
the ultimate lever is not strong, so dont hit a tree with it cuz it will break in 2 near the bar clamp
it could have been lighter with smaller cranks, lighter pedals, lg1, i beam carbon, carbon bar and bolt on stem, air shock and fork but i wanted reliability and a good solid feel(and cheaper...;)) so that's the setup i came up with
