Re: [RBW] Re: Crust Harvey Mushman Bars?

[Justin Kennedy]

This is super helpful, thanks for sending! I would def prefer the
Crumbworks bar but as you mentioned they’re hard/impossible to find right
now. I’m second guessing myself on the Mushmans bc I want more backsweep.
These pics really helped thanks again!

[RBW] Re: Crust Harvey Mushman Bars?

[Stephen]

Haven't used the mushman's, but I recently had the Nitto b802AA 720mm on my 
lighting bolt in the city.  Similarish, but they have a 15ish degree sweep 
and only 2" of rise. I really like this style of swept riser bar, but 
switched out because I would get stuck in traffic sometimes since they were 
so wide. The 15ish degree sweep feels very similar to riv bullmooses, and I 
personally find it very comfy. Planning on putting these bars on my Joe 
since I think they'd be great for trail riding.

soma also has them in a 660 width for 
$80..

I did that exact thing on my Xtracycle Stoker. I went with the 24 degree 
bars and trimmed maybe 2-3cm(?) from either end. I don't remember how long 
the stem is but its more than 5cm. Maybe 8-10cm. I love 'em. I think you 
will too. I also have another pair I plan on using for a future MTB 
build someday.
