Other 31.8mm riser bars without sweep?

[McDog]

I have a new WDK steering on the way and I am looking for a set of riser bars for it in the 31.8mm size. I'm starting to think that they don't exist. The least amount of sweep I can find is 6 degrees. I was planning on using the riser to adjust the length of my pole/steering a little bit but that is not possible if the riser bars have sweep to them and can only be mounted one way.

I have found some spacer pieces to allow the use of smaller diameter bars so that is an option too I guess but it defeats the purpose of the fatter/stronger/lighter/cheaper bars in the 31.8mm size that the steering was made for.

If by some miracle someobody knows where I can find some let me know. Hook a brotha up y'all.

yes, he said you can find the straight bars with no sweep, but ones with a rise will have a 2 or 3 degree sweep. you can also find inserts so you can run rrp bars or blowsions, i saw them on amazon for 6 bucks

possible bars found:http://www.blueskycycling.com/product1727_65_-Azonic-Ultracross-Riser-Bar.htm

I can't find any statements on sweep even on Azonic's website. I guess I need to make a phone call.

Azonic is out of stock but some dude from the warehouse is supposed to check it out and call me when they get some in.


The adapters are for 25.4 or 26mm to 31.8mm but the RRP bars are 28.6mm so there will be some grinding involved to go that route.

Just found out they have a very slight rear sweep but no upsweep. The guy says it is hardly noticable....3 degrees maybe. They are 2.5 inch risers with a removable crossbar/pad. They are made for ultracross so should be strong as crap. $30.48 shipped. I will be the guinea pig for everyone.

What was the reasoning to going with such an oddball size with the clamp?

I think you will like the sweep ..... more comfortable than straight IMO. Straight bars kill my wrists.

I really don't mind some sweep for comfort. My issue was I wanted to be able to adjust the length of my steering by rotating the bars. If the bars have sweep you can't rotate them without getting some funky reverse swee p or upsweep issues.

x2, i purchased my rn with straight bars. i hated them but figured i would give it time to see if it grew on me. well a year later i have decided when i get a new steering system, im going with swept bars.

what bars do you run? J/W

On my surf / buddy boat I run some mini pro tapers on the x metal adjustable turn plate (most people hate them ) I like the rise and the sweep . X metal plates don't allow for much deviation from their bars. I think Mcdog is is on the right track ................................... For once in is friggggggin life.


Heads up Macon boys there is a Sportfish watch issued for the greater Macon area in effect until saturday afternoon . This is just a watch meaning the conditions are favorable ....

If a Sportfish warning was issued when a Sportfish has actually been sighted or has been picked up on radar in your area. This means that you need to take shelter immediately in a safe sturdy structure.

Buy your 31.8mm riser bars and bend the sweep out of them yourself.

 

[McDog]

I'm thinking that may weaken them a bit.

I have what I feel are perfect ones for sale in my spare parts thread. Slight sweep back about 3 0r 4 deg. Very comfortable for riding.

from my parts thread:

Handle bars 2 sets, BLACK 31.8mm tube diameter riser bars, back bent about 4 deg I think. Very comfortable to ride with 39 each shipped, Very nice with Waterdawgs new steering kit

make me an offer they need to go I dont need three sets, lol

 

[McDog]

Got them yesterday. Lots of upsweep and backsweep. But they were cheap. I will post pics when I get it together.
