So as the title states, Im having trouble finding a set of 31.8 handlebars that have more than 2" of rise.

Ideally Im looking for a handle bar with 31.8 diameter, 2.5"-3" rise, 0-6 degree backsweep, 0-6 degree upsweep, with a raw or polished finish, with a narrower bend area.

Ok dokay so now that everyone knows Im open to options because that handle bar doesnt exist lol

if u look at greg minnaar's stacked, shimmed, high clamped cockpit, makes one wonder if a more elegant solution wouldn't a higher rise bar. Since boobar only goes to 30mm, that probably explains the shims and super stack. Not everyone swoons at the thought of a flatter bar. Should be rider and course dependant, not falling victim to fashion.

Yeah but lower bar + shims gives you more adjustability than a high bar and no shims. Im pretty sure for flatter tracks they want the bars lower

dont disagree norbar, just saying flatter bars aint a panacea.
I ride flats, I know something about it ;) Ive been lowering my cockpit consistently for the last 2 years as many of the local tracks are flattish but when I was doing that they went a bit steeper and I went a bit abroad ;)
Thinking of 20mm risers now (though im really tempted to try some flats with over 9deg of backsweep).

i went flat and wide as well, but since hitting the steeper stuff, i've wanted something with more rise, so going with the 30mm rise Boobar. In my instance, the HA on my frame is not very slack to begin with, so going for a pseudo-slackness ;)

Personally I liked my bars as low as possible with steepr ha due to the fact that it meant a higher cockpit anyway (though that was also with a higher fork). Though we should stop taking this off the topic.



As for high rise 31.8 bars - spank makes them up to 50 or 70mm I think.
