well, i rode them twice, and i have to admit that it's probably not a good idea for me to switch riding positions so soon before my first solo 24. maybe next season i'll give 'em a fair shake.
that being said, i'm ordering the wb bw.8 today. i'll keep everyone updated as to how that goes, if you're interested!

What about moustache bars? They offer several hand positions, and you stay more upright. I have not tried them on my Monkey, but I did use them on my CrossCheck as a ss with the 44c WTB's and v-brakes and the bars worked pretty well setup that way. Wish they were a little wider, but you take what you can get. Good luck in the race.

Just my $0.02
