Yes, quite wide. If you're putting them on a mountain bike 46s would be fine. For a lot of time on the road, I'd definitely go narrower. The bars really shine when you're in the drops on descents. --mike On Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 11:33:02 AM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Thanks Tim. That

Re: [RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

Thanks Tim. That helps a bunch. So 46cm Cowchippers are really quite wide. I might have a monster cross in my future. I’m thinking I will flip a coin between 42 and 44 Bill Lindsay El Cerrito Ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Re: [RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

Bill- Salsa measures their bars pretty accurately; a 46 cm Cowchipper is 46 cm between the center of the bar at the top of each drop. However, since the bars flare outward throughout the drop curve, the brake hoods are already at like 50 cm, and the ends of the bars are at like 54 cm. On the 42

I hope this isn't too tangential. Since you mention cowchippers, I'm in the market for a pair and I'm guessing at width. Are 46cm Cowchippers 46cm wide at the flared drops? Or are they 46cm at the hoods/ramps? Or something else altogether? Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Tuesday, March 6,

[RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

I had the Cowchippers, 46cm, on my Vaya a while back and never really liked the way they felt on that bike. They seemed too wide. Like wider than the 48cm Noodles on my LHT. I did like the way they felt in the drops on descents. I was also entertaining thoughts of that bike being a go fast all

In terms of bars (not that you asked but you might enjoy them anyway). I am really enjoying salsa cowchippers for this purpose. They work great with the gevenalle shifter too. Clayton Scott, SF, CA On Monday, March 5, 2018 at 12:33:15 PM UTC-8, Leaf Slayer wrote: > > I just ordered 1x10

I just ordered 1x10 Gevenalle shifters. They'll work with my current gear. I've wanted a drop-bar large volume tire bike for a long time and I'm hoping this will all come together nicely and satisfy that desire. I'll post it up once it's done. While the only identifiably Rivish item on the

I have the gevenalle GX 1x short pull. They are great. Shift well, convenient if you're on the hoods a lot. I recommend. On Monday, March 5, 2018 at 12:28:45 PM UTC-5, Leaf Slayer wrote: > > Haven't chimed in here in a long long time. Curious what folks think. I'm > a longtime fan of BE
