Cruiser bars on mtb

[Ajoten]

I've developed some tendonitis nonsense in shoulder/bicep and haven't ridden in over 6 months. Today it struck me that I might be able to put some different bars on that give me a more sit up and beg position that will take weight off my arms. So I was thinking cruiser/porteur/chopper type things. I have no idea if it would work. Or just look so stupid I'd be too embarrassed to ride anyway.

Will it work/won't it work/anyone tried similar?

On one of my bikes I have taken it one step further and fitted a pair of motocross bars

Polished up silver they look great I reckon, - a bit like Cowhorn bars of the 70's/80's.

Not sure if they're still available anywhere in 25.4mm though..

I use these, they're trekking bars, not cruisers, but still have a fair amount of rise and setback.

They look like this when installed: Picture1 Picture2

Re:

North road bars with a decent stem with decent rise are excellent; not a compromise - in fact much better than the short-flat-low fare that we misguidedly put up with BITD.
