After some bars for my On One Gimp - it’s want something wider than the 600mm Planet X I currently have on it. After something with a decent rise - I don’t really want to change the Stem as I’m trying to keep the bike as close to standard as possible.

What rise and how much wider?

I think I have some bars knocking about that I never got round to using that might work.

30mm or above rise and anything over 620mm would be great

Yours for a four-pack + postage 😉

Next thing I think I’m going to need is some marzocchi dirt jumper forks (100mm),, will look at the obvious places but need to cantilever brake pegs on them so maybe a bit harder to find

For bars check out brick Lane bikes. They do some really good cheap high rise bars.

DJ's never had canti mounts IIRC, maybe very early DJ3's but no studs. You would need to get an MXC lower or similar and do a transplant.

I know you've been sorted now but Gusset Open Prison bars are still a thing.

Get some pics up when you're done! Not seen a Gimp in years and miss my old PX Bommer.

Would you jump with them?

Iv looked at the bars from Brick Lane Bikes and I suppose they specialise in commuting etc, Iv reached out to them to see if they have anything suitable - do we reckon they would be suitable for Dirt Jumping?

There's no way you'll break the Ringleader bars. Thickest alu wall on a bar I've ever seen.
Built for American Clydesdales!
