Planet X bars?(4 posts)

Planet X bars?SDizzle

I can't find any info about these http://www.webcyclery.com/.docs/product_id/152/pg/product_details.html bars any place, and I figured ya'll might know something about their products. I'm an SSer, not a trials rider, and want a nice wide, stiff bar. Any guesses on the bend of these bars would be appreciated, too! Thanks--adios.

They're your basic 4 up, 8 back bends. I used one on my SS for a bit as they didn't work on my trials rig. They didn't have enough room for everything, slid in as far as I like them (brake lever and shifter) for one finger braking. They were not however stiff. It flexes just like a bar in that weight catagory should and makes for a comfortable bar. I'd put them in a heavy duty XC, light weight FR catagory. I still have it, looks like new, and would sell it to you if a silver 2 incher is what you're looking for.
I certainly would've bought it from you...SDizzle

but I ordered one from WebCyclery yesterday. Got tired of waiting for responses. If, however, I like the bar (and it sounds like I will), I'll buy yours from you for another bike (also SS, no trials stuff). I'll let you know!
They are nice...EricTheRed

I've got them on my trialSS bike, i don't notice any flex as the above mentioned. On an SS i didn't have to worry about running out of bar space.

send me an email we can do some snow riding this week (supposed to snow tomorrow in the boulder area) eric_b_fry at yahoo dot com
