Re: [RBW] recommendation for a flared drop bar with 25.4 clamp size

How much of a flare do you want?  The Compass/Rene Herse Maes Parallel has a slight flare: the 44cm bar is 42 across the levers, 44 at the ends.  I like the shape a lot (and so does my arthritic left thumb, which isn't triggered by this bar at all). On 4/3/19 9:25 PM, Clayton.sf wrote: Salsa

What width are you looking for? I think the RM-13 comes in both 25.4 and 26.0 variants, is a drop bar and has a really nice shape, IMO. Much more traditional, Noodle-type shape, but with more flare in the drops. I know I've seen them in 25.4, but maybe only in the narrower sizes? Blue Lug in

If I wanted to run drop bars on a 55cm Appaloosa, I'd run an 8cm stem, and I'm sure it would be dandy. Maybe not perfect for me, but dandy. 8mm is not much, I agree, but it's not nothing either. Bill On Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 3:37:51 PM UTC-7, jandrews wrote: > > According to the geo

Hi I'm looking for a flared drop bar to use with a periscopa 80mm / 25.4 stem. I think the RM-3 may be too narrow at the levers and, according to the Analog Cycles website, it's not great for very long rides. So, looking for something a little more tour-worthy and comfortable but with minimal

According to the geo charts, the 55cm Appa top tube is 0.8cm longer than the 56cm Atlantis. That's less than a 1/3 of a inch. Can that really be contributing to one frameset being more ideal for drop bars and/or swept backs over the other? On Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 5:34:06 PM UTC-4,
