the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread

Tidy dale cannon.

I likely!!

Are the bars road bars? Doesn't seem to be much of a flare. Not really a fan of the flared bars.

 

[Dale cannon]

Yes, pure road. Deda Compacts.

 

[benseddon]

Would the rear mech be effected as well?

Dale cannon - it makes the bike look a lot cleaner if you know what i mean. Do you find not having a flare effects handling off road?

 

[legrandefromage]

I've only used road bars myself as I just cannot get on with 'dirt drops'

Anyone want a set of gold On-one bars for a drop project?

I'll stick them in the FS section

 

[legrandefromage]

Would the rear mech be effected as well?

No. same cable pull.

 

[legrandefromage]

Here's mine.

Something just 'right' about that.

 

[The History Man]

Will roads therefore pull canti and U equally well?

 

[NeilM]

Here's mine.

Looks kinda familiar. :mrgreen:

Great job, it looks superb.

Now get those bl**dy bars wrapped.

 

[legrandefromage]

Will roads therefore pull canti and U equally well?

Yes.

 

[benseddon]

So to clarify,

You'd need to swap the mtb front mech for a road triple front mech but the mtb rear mech would suffice.

Food for thought.
