Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

The width was my largest reservation, but I rolled the dice and we'll see how it goes. Glad to hear they're well received otherwise, looking forward to getting them on the new XL, been missing a Susie in my life for too long now. On Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 2:42:19 PM UTC-8

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

I built my Appaloosa with JJJ bars. I like them a lot; however, I agree with Larson.photo33 slightly wider would be desirable to me. My handlebar wishes are very similar to yours and the JJJ is the closest I have found that fit the bill, and I will be happy using them until something same but

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

I put Sycip JJJ bars on my Black Mountain Cycles monstercross bike last year to convert the bike from drop bars, and have liked them very much. The sweep is right for me and I am able to get a second hand position on the curves, which I use often. They are close, but not quite perfect. I think

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

Dave, It is really going to be a case of getting our hands on the bikes and trying stuff out! Im pretty keen to try this Wright stem/Jones bar combo but if it doesn't work I'll happily use a Billie or maybe even score a Rons Back Bar in the next batch (in 18 months, lol). Eric, That JB bar has

Brendon – The JB Bar also looks nice in case you missed it. On Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 11:58:47 AM UTC-5 daveyst...@gmail.com wrote: > I'm also in this boat, 5'8 long inseam went for the large because I wanted > 29 wheels. > I have

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

I'm also in this boat, 5'8 long inseam went for the large because I wanted 29 wheels. I have a crust bj stem 31.8 30mm that I'm thinking might work with tumbleweed bars I have, could be too short though. I'd also like the crust ui stem or any of the analog options, I'm also just guessing what the

Oh wow, if I found myself in that position I'd be making the same call. And I thought building bikes was expensive here in CA... Jared On Friday, January 7, 2022 at 8:41:30 PM UTC-8 brendonoid wrote: > Jared, that JJJ bar looks *really* nice. I 100% agree that the finish on > the Jones bar

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

Jared, that JJJ bar looks *really* nice. I 100% agree that the finish on the Jones bar is not up to snuff. Certainly not Nitto standards. I'm going to end up with the Jones bar I think because I can get one from my LBS. Just for an example, that Analog stem is going to cost $81.87 to ship to

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

I'm in the same boat for my incoming XL Susie. Did a bunch of poking around on the web and after much waffling I picked up the Sycip/Nitto JJJ bar to pair with a 60mm Nitto/Crust UI stem. They seem to be comparable in shape to the

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

Eric, that is so good to hear. I have previous experience with the Jones bar and know I like them, so it was just the stem limitation. I am now officially excited for my Susie build. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

I ran a 30mm Discord W(Right) stem from Analog on my Susie with the non-loop Jones H-bar. It was a great combo. If you like those bars, the Discord stem should give you what you are after. I was riding a large Susie, but had the same issue of longer legs, shorter reach and needed a stem and

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

Oops, just realized I never even pasted the link to the stem, sorry about that! Glad it will work for you, post pics when you get that Susie built up. On Fri, Jan 7, 2022 at 9:06 PM brendonoid wrote: > Danny, Thank you! I have never looked at analog and did not know about > these Discord

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

Danny, Thank you! I have never looked at analog and did not know about these Discord stems, they will solve my problems just perfectly. Big wad of cash for a stem but these days you do what you have to. Joe, I love the Billie but using it on some single track and rock gardens on a few

[RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

At first it sounds like a Billie would do the trick but then you say it's not a 'fun stuff' bar. For less flare I would recommend the Riv Nitto Wavie or Velo-Orange Postino..both 25.4, both in stock. I don't know if they'll hit the reach-back spot, though, you may need the Billie for that.
