New drop handlebar time

Postby Baalzamon » Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:19 pm

So I've just had a retul bike fit. Handlebar width AOK. Handlebar reach NOK. So new handlebars required. Suggestions on an 8mm reach handlebar with a shallow drop preferably.

Now the only thing original to my Masi 2008 is the frame and headset... Once the handlebars get replaced. Might throw in a new headset as well :)

8mm or 80mm?

I have become a fan of Zipp Service Course bars they just work for my riding position. You will find 80mm reach in your preferred width for $65 -15% at Pushys at the moment.

Was going to say my 2004 KHS Flite 800 does not even have it's original headset, then I realised I put the original wheel set back on it a few weeks ago, after 8 years of using other wheels.
