Just can’t get on with my Nukeproof V2 so looking for options.

Will probably get cut to 780mm so as long as they are 780+. 35mm clamp. 35mm rise ideally.

Keep looking at the OneUp bars. Anyone using these? Are they ok to be shortened?

Other options from RaceFace Diety etc.

Don’t mind spending extra on a decent pair.

What are people running?

You've already identified the answer. I shortened mine to 770mm, still going strong nearly 3 years later. Look no further.

That's what I was going to recommend

They are fantastic

I've got two of the One-up bars - can't fault them. Subtle, comfortable and well made. Not too expensive either.

I run some Race Face Next R bars and they seem slightly more comfortable than my old Bird ones. I'd be trying these for £40 if buying now though.

Race Face 6c for mega stiff uncomfortableness.

Have to agree, unbelievably stiff and really uncomfortable!

Merlin we’re doing Cannondale save bars 35mm but with 30mm rise for £40 I picked up a pair last week, seem good to me but they are my first carbon bar.

OneUp are really very good. Hard to see past them, IMHO.

I like the look of the OneUp but reviews make it sound very flexible. Does it not feel weird to ride?

I can't say I notice significant flex in the one up bar. You can see it flex when compressing it when stationary but in use it just feels like a normal bar to me. I have a stiffer carbon bar which feels like it transmits more vibration but it's hardly night and day comparing the two. After all the reviews I was expecting a big difference. Still a a decent bar though and looks nice.
