35mm bars available?
« on: August 30, 2019, 09:46:18 AM »
I'm wanting to do some experimenting on bar width and really don't feel like cutting up my 800mm Renthal Fat Bar carbon that came with the bike until I know what width I like the most.

I've been looking around and can only find Chinese carbon bars in 31.8 diameter.

Anyone know of 35mm bar, preferably as wide as 800mm so I can start with something similar to what I have.

BTW, I have handlebars from this company on my old bike and they've been fantastic. Not the cheapest around, but I thought I'd pass it along.

I currently have one from LightCarbon, I guess the AM04 (they changed their name schema). So far super happy with it, solid as a rock:  https://www.lightcarbon.com/mtb-handlebar_c85

Why don't you just slide your controls in board a little and use open ended grips so you can slide them in as well?  Keep moving them in, 10 mm at a time until you think youve gone too far.

That's smart ! ;)

That IS a good idea. But I was hoping to avoid having extra bar length hanging out past the grips while testing, as I don't expect to have a good feel for width after a short ride.

Thanks! I'll give them a look.
