I think I might like a pair, I enjoy the jaunty looks and fancy something a bit different. I'm currently on 720mm ritchey flat bars on a rigid ss inbred. Should I go for the 720mm(ish) versions or the 660mm uber(for a wiggly bar) racey version? I'm 6'2" and will be doing several races this year including the much anticipated (on my part at least) kielder 101.

Your thoughts!!

I use them.

I have both options .... 2 of the narrower ones, one of the wider ones.

I find the narrower ones fine for the (town) bikes they are on but too narrow for off road compared with other bars used.

The sweep is nice and comfy.

I found the narrower ones slightly awkward for placing of controls (shifter) due to slightly limited length of bar before bend but I guess this won't bother you 😆

I've used the wider ones and really liked them. I've now switched to Jones bars but would happily recommend the Fleegles.

Like the angle, felt too floppy with a short stem. Switched to normal flat bars and a longer stem. less comfy but climbs better

I've got some fleegles, they just seem to crank my wrists at the wrong angle. At that price though it's not a problem if they don't suit.

I had some flat wide bars which seemed to hurt my wrists so I looked for the bars with the most backsweep, and so I got the wider Fleegles.
2 rides now and I'm very pleased with them
The angle is much better

Now if only they were half the weight....

Fleegle Pro 660mm on my rigid Salsa 29er. Coupled with Ergon grips, they are the best thing I have ever used by miles. Love them to bits, perfect for using as an adventure bike.

Recently picked up some of the 660mm Fleegle Pro's at £5, worth a shot I thought.
Turns out I like them! Took two rides for me to get used to a) flat bars and b) the swept back ends.
Can't fault them for use on my SS 29'er.

I had the fleegle bars which I replaced with the carbon OG.

They used to be great until I got my wrist fixed.... now they don't seem right ..... so tempted to put straight bars back on....

Hi,

Got one, wide one, in now sadly discontinued red ano.

Love it to the bits. Paired with good 'ole bar ends gives plenty of leverage for single speeding and as it is 25.4 a bit of cushioning whilst riding fully rigid.

Had it also on sussed bike and was impressed same way.

Now will see if splashing 15x more one Answer 20/20 is going to make things any better xD

Cheers!
I.
