YES ! Liquor Double D bars 8.5 tall, 29 wide, 12 degree backsweep, 1.5 degree upsweep. www.liquorbikes.com
8.5 is about perfect. if you think about it, a lot of people run 8" bars with spacers underneath so yeah. ill prob get some
I have been running slams since 98' you don't need anything bigger than 8'. I am 6'3 and short people don't need that even, everyone just wants to look the same.
bwhahaha I like my pro races - light version of the slams and of course uncut for full flavor. I don't have any problem getting them to spin, catching them is another issue
dude why do you think you can tell other people what they need ? btw, the original early 90's Slams were taller than 8.
. . . . pre-96/97, everyone had 1" head tubes, stack headsets and top loader stems. so those SLAMS felt an inch taller than today with integrated headsets and front-loader stems. 9 just puts the grips back where they were.
dude has some custom solids at 9x29 with spacers i think this is the tallest setup ive seen. can anyone beat that? http://www.bikeguide.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134200
tall set ups feel really good if you are, well...tall. 8.5" bars do make since considering many people run 8"ers with spacers under the stem. on my 20 i run 7.9" WTP heliums with 3 or 4 spacers under the stem. it feels like money. they are also just under 26" wide and feel really good. on my 26er i run 1.5x28" bars with a number of spacers under the stem and it feels good, just switched from running some 3x25-26" bars and i really love the wider feel but would like more rise. the solid bars are crazy...i wouldn't mind seeing if more then 28" wide feels good or not.
that's ridiculous, I really could not ride those... I think i'm siting at 7.5 X <26 and I'm thinking about cutting them narrower. that and about 8" of seat tube (so my seat is between my knees, where i like it) makes people say my bike looks weird, kinda out of the 90s. but whatever, it rides nice and that makes it look good to me.
