Hey all, I've got some Ortho Bars in my cart and looking for stem advice from those who use this bar. Obv there are multiple fit and frame factors that play into something like this, but curious what people are generally going with. Here are the options I'm deciding between: - Faceplater 110mm

J, question about your mothbars - do you find yourself ever using other hand positions? Intrigued by this bar but it looks like holding on anywhere but the ends would be awkward with such a wide bar. On Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 4:20:31 PM UTC-6 J wrote: > I've always had problems with

With several more rides and miles, I am liking it more and more. I like the ability to move around on it. No soreness. Currently set up in a fairly upright position, around 60º or so. The horn is still a little wider than I would prefer, but I guess I'm getting used to it. On Saturday,

Just put one on and I'm not sure I like it... yet. The material is comfy but I can't tell where I should be sitting on it, if that makes any sense. Coming from an Ergon saddle the nose of the Riv saddle is super wide. That's my least favorite part of the shape. On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at

[RBW] Your preferred handlebar for longer rides

2022-10-20 Thread Chris K
Just a general question to the group: what handlebar do you like best for rides longer than say, 15 miles? I assume many of you would say drops. So to refine the question a bit, what non-drop bar do you like best for longer rides? Personally, almost all of my rides are in the 2-15 mile range.

If you have a Choco bar you would like to get ride of, let me know. They are in stock for $120, so I guess I'm looking for deal, less than $100 shipped or some such. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe
