I am curious, too. I have started to accept the fact that drop bars are just not working for me anymore. I get numbness and tingling in less than 30 minutes now. On Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at 12:08:43 PM UTC-4, John Phillips wrote: > > I ordered a Wavie Bar & a 130mm reach Tallux stem from

Just picked up my Wavie bars from the UPS store, and my first fresh-out-of-the-box impression is I think I'm really going to like this bar. The bar doesn't feel as wide as I thought it would, and I think the 11cm Tallux stem is going to be the way to go with this bar. Just resting the Wavie

Thanks, John. After years of trying to get a red plaid from Walz Caps, I tagged some additional yards on an order of plaid my daughter made for herself and Walz made it in to caps for me. Really increases visibility without looking like a racer. Let us know how your wavy experiment goes! With

Thanks, John I have similar PBH, with a 75 cm saddle height on my 58 cm Atlantis. I have Origin8 Space Bars (similar bend) on a 10 cm stem. I've been thinking about the Wavies since they are wider than my current bars. I have 660 mm Jones Bars on my MTB and really like the width. The Wavy

John, I have a 12cm reach Tallux for the Wavie on my 64 Atlantis. With that stem, the bar ends don't quite come back as far as the back (saddle) side of the vertical part of the stem. When I was deciding on the stem reach for the Wavie, I knew I wanted a slightly more aggressive position. I

I also have wider than normal shoulders for being 5'9", so my needs are a bit idiosyncratic. But I was just curious how people have their Wavie bars set up, rather than wanting to copy a particular set up. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Hi Doug, Currently I have an 11cm Tallux and Albatross bars on my Hunq, but I find my hands spend more time up closer to the bend rather than back near the bar ends, so I thought the 13cm Tallux might be worth a try with the Wavie bars. I lowered my saddle so that I could pedal with

Oh, and I placed my brake levers 145mm in, giving a continuious range of grip options with brake access, from outer (great for technical), middle (my default), snug to the lever mounts (through town), and 1-2 fingers over the lever mount for long steady climbs, headwinds and fast descents on

A 130mm stem sounds long for a wavy bar unless you are on a frame rather small for you or you really like being stretched out. But, if you're looking for that dialed in between the tires semi-to-mostly upright position of bliss that Riv's offer, you may prefer an 8-9 cm stem. That's roughly
