Tall guys...
If you are a big dood and use tall bars and off set clamps be carefull to keep you hands as close to the center line of the forks. Its easy to use forward offsets and roll your bars far forward. It may feel great in the garage but it will beat you up and tire you out quicker on the trail...

The "swinging" back and forth is supposed to change the steering behavior and use extra muscle force to get the same work done. But my experience is the effect is not HUGE but noticeable at different levels depending on rider...

Not to mention land with the body to far forward and you may find yourself looking for a soft place to tuck and roll.

We were just talking about that yesterday, they offer all the parts seperately and replace the set at half cost??AlisoBob wrote:

You take the tops of your bar clamps, flip them under the bars and put another pair on top. All you need is a set of 4 longer bolts (and of coarse an extra set of clamps, which most people have already)...bigjay wrote:teach me this.. flip flop trick.. i must knowM.F.D.B. wrote: Do the flip flop trick, only cost you 4 bolts from a hardware store...

Needs to be longer then the bolts its replacing by the height of the clamp...bigjay wrote:huh, ill look for a set of clamps so i can give that a try, do you happen to know how much longer and what type of bolt is needed?
Just take the parts to the "Depot" with ya...
