I’m contemplating upgrading my steering systems after years of using the tried and true blowsion 7/8” bearing style steering systems, kinda like the old umi systems.
I have decided that I want to convert to a fat bar type steering and I see that both blowsion and rrp make full fat bar steering systems for roughly the same prices, but I’m looking for some specific information.
These steering a will be used in more of a race application instead of freestyle/free ride application.
These are the blowsion systems I have on all my rrp handlepoles right now:
I also see the blowsion Phat Clamp that fits on the steering systems I have already:
I also see the blowsion 1-1/8 steering system for sale:
RRP also makes a complete 1-1/8” steering system which looks similar to the blowsion system.
My questions:
Is the blowsion 7/8” system and the 1-1/8” system exactly the same except for the phat clamp being included with the 1-1/8” system? Are there any other differences between the two? Are the steering plates identical, the bearing mounts identical, Ect?
If I add the phat clamp to the 7/8” system, how comparable is it to the RRP system here:
I am mainly curious about the length from pivot point to where the bars mount on either system. Does anyone know this length for either of the systems above?
If you were in the market for new setups, which route would you choose based on the options above? It would appear that adding the phat clamp and new fat bars to my current systems would no doubt be the cheapest, but if the other systems offer some additional benefit I am overlooking them I will need to reconsider.
I haven’t really considered a true OVP setup yet but I see that RRP make a OVP setup that can also be adjusted to move the bars 5/8” back from true OVP. Is this setup the way to go over all the above options?
thanks in advance
