Dannytrials Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 has everyone got a problem with me or something Have you ever thought that alot of people are watching the England match? I can hear my dad shouting lot's as usual! Anyway i prefer flats for natural and risers for street. In the end I just rode with risers as they suited my riding style more.

X-Lite_Rider Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 what are better the monty risers or zoo i am stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebJT Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Flat bars feel so much stiffer than risers, well from what ive tried. I wetn from kore Fr 2" risers to the echo flat bars, and my bike feelt completly different, the front end is so much stiffer, making it more responsive and gives a lot better control, also they were a bit wider, which helped too. Summing up... go for the echo flat bars. Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom e Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I always find that risers feel 'flexy' - not literally in most cases. I'd go for flat bars, echo, monty, megamo, onza.. all great bars (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) Some people have missed the point. He wants to know whether to get Zoo! risers or Echo flats. The Zoo! bars are flat riser halfbreeds made of carbon fibre.(I think (Y) )Like so: (CraigLeeScotts :( ) I couldn't give you an informed opinion as i havn't tryed the Zoo!s. ;) Edited June 26, 2004 by Haz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I have a pair sitting around in my house, they seem good, however I feel that they are worryingly light :( We'll see how it goes I suppose (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
