As title, looking for a wide bar (>700mm) with quite a big rise. As usual don't want to spend much so cheaper the better.

Any ideas?

    I have the above, they were lighter than my stock bars and haven't broken. A positive review.

    So why mention a low rise 680mm bar when he wants larger than 700 and high rise? ;-)

    And as SS's suggestion already hit nail firmly on head, no point coming up with something worse really!

    Thanks again,

    you got me on the size, but if you click on the link it does say 700, CRC's fault not mine, and a choice of 2 rise's 20 and 40mm, 40 isn't low is it, happy now, feel free to contact CRC about their misleading add :wink:

      I read it, yes......I stopped at the fact they were DH bars which wasn't what the OP wanted to start with....

      Heres your coat!

      wow your so knowledgable, get many downhill bikes with, what turned out to be a 680mm bar do you, obviously your incapable of reading posts properly as this has all been explained, but again you want to get the last word in without making any kind of contribution to the topic of the thread
