I cut way to much off my prison bars.  They were slightly too wide so i lopped an inch or so off each side.  Now its twitchy as f**k and I hate it.  Need to get new ones and leave them uncut!


i found my prisons perfect out the box!
And its surprising how taking a teeny bit off can make such a big difference! its reallt weird!

theres a kid doing hop barspins with 32inch bars on his bmx... ala http://www.vimeo.com/1498968

i really want wider, flatter bars on the hardtail. coming off the bmx it makes the wheel to bar ratio too different.

Would just be to hard to do anything bar whips, most english trails are in a straight line so no need to turn. Might aswell be locked in possition Wink


you what?

Why did they not make them when I was experimenting with Salsa flat bars unable to get the Chromag's?!  They would've been mint.

Too wide, but I'd rather that than not wide enough like I ended up with.

I got EA30 low risers on my HT and they are brilliant. The only problem i have is getting my hand wedged under a fence on a local trail which is too narrow!!
