I have the chance of buying some raceface bars but they are the diablous DH ones
will these do me even though i don't do specific dh riding,
I ride xc, trail centres and some descents but nothing i would claim to be all out dh.
they are a bargain and 710 wide which will be alot wider than the easton 70bars im using right now...
will sell on the eastons if the raceface ones are useable...
thanks

they will be fine, the DH/FR part has more to do with the width than anything else, what was used on DH/FR bikes before is fairly standard on xc/am bikes nowSpecialized Hardrock Sport Disc 10- CANYON Nerve AM 6 20110

DH bars will be heavier than an eqivalent bar designed for lighter use, the Diab's come out around 380g from memory while at about 700mm XC bars of reasonable quality will be around 230-250g, if you're not a weightweenie then don't worry about it, if you are that is a disaster!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Merlin are still doing the Alu Haven's at £36. 711mm & 270g (about the same weight as the EA70's but wider)"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

if im honest i dont buy by weight,just if i like something and the prices is right,
yeh its for my 9.1 chez.....will that be a worry??i run a 50 or 60 mm spesh stem.
the seller says they are low rise but they look similar to the easton 70's im using,mid rise.
15quid they are going for brand new so i thought i cant go wrong @ that price.....Giant Reign 2

Are the Eastons too narrow for you?0

na not really mate but i have the superstar xl grips and with the shifters and brakes theyre nearly at the bend in my bars
suppose another 20mm wont make to much difference.....
just seen them and thought "oh they look nice and cheap"
kinda need thick grips for my hands,have reynauds and get the white finger sh** alot when doing the descents so thought the chunkier the grip the better for my fingers but i probably am wrongGiant Reign 2
