Hi all,
After a set of 710mm x 31.8 flat bars in white or black for a 29r build (trying to keep the front end lowish).
Anyone any ideas, need to be alu and not carbon really - never liked the idea of carbon bars failing, nothing DH (really not needed)

I like the Niner flat bars but at £100 and carbon, a bit too expensive. 😆
Anyone recommend anything or....what flat bars do you run on a 29er ?
Thanks

The on-one Fleegle would be a great idea. the swept back design is really comfortable.

The pro is 660mm width
and the old one is 716.7mm width

i like salsa pro motos. i use the 17° and it's a nice shape. they also do more normal sweeps.

Just bought a Fleegle Pro - Garden test confirms the comfortable hand position and it does (slightly) lower the front end.

I was planning on going 685mm wide but these seem just right 🙂

I have Nukeproof 760's cut down to 740mm on all 3 of my 29ers.

Risers on the FS & HT and a flat bar on the SS. Great bars, pretty light, reasonable cost and look nice. What's not to like?
