    Bump

    Also would you get the FSA carbon bar?

    Not sure if syncros or good bars, I know they are a good name, but some of the stuff could be a bit off.

    Thanks guys.

    Sorry to bump but at that price it might not last long.

    I bought one there today, I'm confident it'll be fine.

    The hardest part will be removing/installing the grips (unless you have lockons) but even that is a pile of pi$$. There is a video giude on the bikeradar main page if you are not sure.

    My bar is a 660mm

    Would I notice a massive difference, as I have gotten used to it.

    Thanks.

    The fsa one is 10mm shorter than the syncros one so that one is out I think.

    Posted that as you did, yeh they are lock on's and it looks like they got a allan key on the grips, so should be ok, just loosen bolts and slide off?

    Thanks

    Never mind sold out, should have kept my mouth shut and bought straight away, oh well at least I know. Will keep looking.

    Well basically your hand will move 10mm in at either side, a small difference but I think you will notice it to begin with. I can definitely notce the difference between my 26 inch bar and my dad's 25 inch.
