New bars needed

[rich p]

After a disastrous crash this morning and a few spectacular somersaults I find myself to be in need of some new bars. Any recommendations?

I had a look at these

They'll do provided you don't break them

Blimey Rich hope you are ok. Check out Planet X. They have the FSA's in white for 50 quid or 100 quid for the Planet X carbon jobbies

Any pics/videocam ?

Glad you're OK - sounds scary

Glad you are up on end after your involuntary inspection of the road.

I can heartily recommend your choice. I have them on both my road bike and tourer. Comfiest bars I have ever used.

Thanks Gerry. I heard from someone else that they're comfortable on the drops even for those with a slight belly!

Thanks Clive, I'm not too bad. I'll check them out but I'm not sure if I'm dandy enough for white bars

Can you get some with air bags fitted as standard?

As I'm new to road bikes. Apart weight/materials how much do new drop bars vary?

How many stars in the sky?

Each manufacturer has his own ideas about bar geometry, You really need to read their literature or ride a bike with your proposed bars fitted to be sure.

New bars that open early are definitely required in Brighton, the kick-off times are outrageous - 10am I ask you...


Oh sorry rich - I forgot to say I'm glad you're ok!!

Too late Ed. I'm hurt to the quick!

Glad to hear you're not too badly damaged, imagine if you'd damaged your typing finger!

I can also recommend the FSA bars, I have a pair on my Kona roadie and would happily replace the bars on my other bikes with them. Very comfortable for riding on the drops.

They seem to be universally unavailable though apart from 42mm ones from Wiggle.

Would I notice the difference between 44s and 42s?
