Title: Handlebars
Post by jcsadowski on Jun 15^th, 2011, 5:33pm

To fight hand numbness I ordered the B-41 handlebar from Rans.
This photo shows the Rans (outside) next to the Bacchetta "long reach" handlebar.

What are you doing with all the extra bars?

The standard is not mine.
The Bacchetta long reach is a limited edition, very rare and I am going to keep it.
sorry.

I have standard "Aero" tweener bars hanging out in my garage if anyone needs them. I don't think I'll ever......

OK cool. I'm looking for something that I can use on the Cruzbike I picked up. It had MTB drop bars on it, but the seller wanted them back, due to our price negotiations. I now realize that I should have paid the extra as I can't seem to find any bars that work... :'(

Any Pics of the bars Tony?

John, what aspect of the other bars do you believe is going to improve your hand issue? If you need to adjust the angle of the grips, you might look into the "HR3Way" RANS bars, which Greg and I have on our bikes.

Since I installed the Rans B-41 handlebars I have not experienced any hand numbness.
The bars are a little wider and the grip portion longer allowing me to install longer, wider grips, giving me a number of options in holding the bars.

Otherwise the HR3Way was next.

Ah. I guess that explains why the guy at Plano Cycling had no idea what I was talking about, when I recently asked about the extended reach bars.

So you like the Rans bars on your Bachetta, do you?
