Bars come in widths?
Afternoon....
Been busy!!
Been busy!!
bars? i get by with 790 pretty well. anything i need to do the wheelie wiggle for is usually a slow tech section.
working on bathroom facelift. had to drill out cabinet doors for new flush hinges...was nervous but appears to be working. fucked up the frame for the mirror but can hopefully fix it pretty easily.
gathering shit for camping tomorrow. making pizza dough for dinner.
coffee porters are tasty.
that is all.

Holy shit... those kittehs are adorable. GIMME A KITTEH!Report from home: orange cat hasnt freaked out yet.
No, they come in root beer, silly.
They are size whatever came with the bike/I got a deal on from the LBS.I have no idea how wide my bars are.
Just checked and my totally unridable carbon bars are 720 mm which is actually a wee bit shy of the width when I was racing DH (also on a 26"). Smaller wheels need less leverage to steer than the current standards. And I do love me some tight, southeast singletrack.
A few years ago I watched dudes struggle on their 29rs with 800mm wide bars to get through trees that I don't even consider touching the brakes for.

That’s me selling my Nicolai.
I miss that bike.
A bunch of our stuff requires getting the front tire right next to a tree bole and sticking one bar end in in a sort of wriggle turn. Fucking these up at speed hurts.
My bars on the Tracer seem to be 740 mm, had no idea until I just went out and measured them. Observing where my hands normally rest, I think i could shorten them 10 or 15 mm on each end with no ill effect, but I probably won't.
New chain on the road bike today...
My rental for the day. I am hashing out details with the shop owner to go full-dentist on a build. And in an ironic twist, one of the guys in our group today is an actual dentist, which I see as a sign. Anyway, three hours on this beater today on tough trails. My legs are toast.

115. So much different than my old bike, but then again if it was the same I'd just keep my old bike.
@I Are Baboon I'm so proud of you
I had no idea what the width was on my Mt Bike until just now. 720, guess that's why I have never rapped my knuckles on a tree (riding on 26's)
outstanding.
Are they on your bike? Do they assist in your efforts to steer somehow? Don't worry about it then. Substitute Chard on your Turkey wrap instead of Spinach. You'll be fine.I have no idea how wide my bars are.
Congrats @CrabJoe StretchPants !!
Mucho dilemmas running through my head right now. Friends tell me I worry too much.
Also, my handlebar is full 800mm. I once cut it to 785 and hated it. I clip trees from time to time but shitty spots with narrow trees are not usually high speed segments anyway.

Don't worry, man... life's too short to worry.
Congratulations!
Just realized this morning where the name came from. You silly goose you.
hounds are cuter....plus you can release them...
i remember my cw pro bars were 32 inches wide....I have no idea how wide my bars are.
bars on the spooky might be 28 inches...
do you convert womens measurements to mm?
No, but no one has ever complained that I need a few more millimeters...
