One moar thing for mtb dweebs to worry about...

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/production-privee-adjustable-sweep-grips-and-cockpit-review.html


Looked at PP bars n stems a couple of months back for my last bike build. (sadly I quite liked their corvette stripe inspired graphics). kinda glad they had nothing suitable (rise/length etc.) if this is the shit they're spending time and money developing.

i think it's a cool idea to get some fine tuning on cockpit ergonomics.

 

[WestCoastHucker]

you would...

 

[maxyedor]

Of all the stupid ideas that have come about lately, that one kinda makes sense. In a world where WTB padlocok grips exist, I can't even be a little bit mad about those.

 

[Gary]

Not mad bro. I do think anyone who actually buys this shit is probably going to be the type of tool who just has to tell everyone they meet about their latest discovery more than they actually ride.
Bars already come in different widths, sweeps and rises for a reason.

Some things just shouldn't be inspired by your favourite car.
Hint: The grip patern is shit and their "thin" grip is fat as fuck.

 

[Westy]

In the future this will not be a problem when we steer our e-bikes with an i-phone app.

you'd be surprised how little variation there is in sweep.

 

[Gary]

No. I honestly wouldn't.

By all means be that tool.

 

[Westy]

No. I honestly wouldn't.

By all means be that tool.

So what does someone who argues about minute details of bikes on the internet actually talk about when they ride? Astrophysics? Woman's literature?

Does my memory serve correctly from the old days? A mega thread about handlebar rise/sweep?

I generally like Production Privée's approach to alignment of bar/stem... wish all manufacturers would do that. Would take less eyeballing... ride, tweak, ride, swear, tweak, ride. I'm always doing that with the steerer tube/stem interface.

no idea.

Internet is for arguing.
Outdoors is for riding.

find the one with all the rocket surgeons flipping their bars upside down.

Next: Dropper bars.

Oh christ I remember that

 

[jonKranked]

Now that I think about it, I remember actually seeing people at races running their bars upside down

 

[jstuhlman]

NEGATIVE DORP

NEGATIVE DORP

It really was awful

Got you covered.

Ugh I knew there was a reason why I was getting arm pump!

This may be one of the pop-up "trends" people are going to laugh at big time in a year or two.........

Or ten

They don't.


Okay, occasionally women's literature.

 

[marshalolson]

As OE parts, having a little extra adjustibity and not needing to buy new bars straight away is kinda nice.

 

[jstuhlman]

angle grips NO!
angle grinder? YES!

 

[ChrisRobin]

I agree this might be a decent idea... While I like my SixC bars on both bikes, having the option to tweak them slightly would be good. A lot easier than trial and error-ing from bar to bar.

 

[bigwheel]

Got you covered.
