Hi Chaps,

I'm looking for a carbon bar, which is about 740/750mm with a 25-30mm rise.

The only bar I can find that isn't extortionate is the Crank Brothers Idoine II AM bar.

Is anyone using this bar? Can you comment on how flexy it actually is?

Cheers

Ricks

If only they were 10-20mm longer (wider)...

There was a review I read which said it was very, very flexy relative to the competition

Any thoughts?

I will be selling my race face six carbon bars 745mm wide and 20mm rise next week, once my new titanium ones turn up?

HG - I read that too, but I've only seen that on one review, on MTBR I've seen other reports of them being great.

One of my concerns is that I've gone from a 70mm stem, to a 55mm stem, with a 25mm rise.

Now if I go to a 20mm rise, that'll put me lower on the bike, so I'm thinking a 30mm bar will give me the flexibility to move the stem down a little if I need, but give me a good height to start with.
