Very nice! They don't make 25.4 bar anymore sorry.

The 31" bars were made to compare to some other brands, yo can always cut them down to whatever size you like. It's not so easy to add to them though…

agreed on the sweep. It's weird, but I way prefer 5x9 degree over the 5x8 degree of the chromags. nice looking kit though.

1" rise is fine for my riding style. gotta get over the front wheel!

Check my stuff for sale!

What do i do with all my old stems now,like those bombproof Diablous ,and Kooka .Is this 31.8 an industry standard now they are not any stronger( I bought them cause i was initially not going to have to keep replacing) Is there a Buy back program?
I asked R\F tent what replaced there Diab Cranks they said , response, or altas ,that is A\M line.They just told me to go away and gave me some free stickers.
So you wonder why Saints and, OCT Howitser bend because you are not running Machined cranks,or Profile.

^Take the Diablous stems to the scrapper, you'll likely get 5 bucks a stem since they weight a metric ton.

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

I dunno man, most people I know think the rise/sweep is spot on….I love the feel of them because I don't notice it at all, super comfy from the get go

The Raceface Atlas FR has an 8x4 bend according to their site. I find it odd that the industry makes the widest bars with less sweep (8 versus 9 degrees). As far as the way I like to fit bars, the wider they are the more sweep I want. I tried the 30" Chromag OSX and felt it didn't have enough sweep for my needs, but now I ride a Atlas FR cut to a very-uncool 28".

Actually I don't wonder why Saints or OCT Howitzer cranks bend.

I troll shitty posters like yourself, because it's amusing to watch you skidmarks get all riled up.

You'll also find that rotating the bars forward will help with getting more upsweep.

Since cutting the Atlas FR from 29 to 28, I've been tripping on how far forward it seems like the bars are rotated when I'm looking down on them. That said, they feel great now, and my tendonitis is actually improving which is a good sign.
