Handlebars (Read 2834 times)

jcsadowski Five Star Member Clown #1 Posts: 1199	Handlebars 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. This photo shows the Rans handlebar next to the Bacchetta stand handlebar.

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?

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.

jcsadowski Five Star Member Clown #1 Posts: 1199	Re: Handlebars Reply #7 - Jun 21^st, 2011, 9:50pm 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?
