[RBW] Re: Ahearne/MAP All rounder Bars
I swapped from a 100mm/+17 degrees to a 110mm/+17 degrees stem when I went from Mark's drop bars to the Map/Ahearne bars, and did not change the spacer height (20mm). I like the bars a lot, and with my increasing lack of flexibility am much more comfortable with the upright position. Suggest you get the wider MAP/Ahearne bars if you mount shifters and brakes on the bars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I went with an 80mm stem to get the ends of the bars about an inch behind the stem - Aherne has a great photo with scale on the bars. The bike also has a slightly long top tube for me. The angle copies the Jones H bar, and feels really natural On Friday, March 6, 2015 at 2:23:38 PM UTC-6, Kieran J wrote: These bars, along with the Nitto Jitensha and a couple of the VO offerings, are pretty much my favourite shape in a multi-purpose bar. Great for city riding, off-road and whatever else. Love 'em! I think I was using a 110mm Nitto stem with the MAP bars I had. They belong to the GF now.
