Bicyclettes

^ im the opposite.. when i used to ride regular drops... then flipped/chopped.. then straight bars... and eventually to risers.. like my posture evolved with it haha.

i like the feel of risers.. but chopped/flipped is a good 2nd. imo

[stfuken]

can i get some help identifying these wheels?

or similar ones.

edit: oh and the seat too

[aaronS]

Flip your Thompson upside down so the logo is upside down then get 2" risers.

But really risers are just something all of you are going to grow out of. I know I did. I only had risers because before track bikes I was into MTB/BMX shit. You will try other bars and realize how much more comfortable / functional they are.

I've tried bullhorns, flipped and chopped and drops and risers are by far my favorite bc they feel so similar to bmx bar. Since i still ride my bmx it feels alot more natural with the sweep etc.

[chingon]

I have ridden every type of bar, risers are my favorite.

didn't you have risers up until like a week ago?

Yeah I've found my niche, the bullhorns. Risers have no where near the functionality as bullhorns do. Climbing with bullhorns is a fucking breeze. You move too much climbing a hill with risers as for bullhorns you sway side to side but your wheels are going straight.

It might be a Selle Turbo. I'm 90% sure because it has that indent in the middle where the rails are. Those wheels are Velocity's gold Deep V w/ Velocity hubs. They sell it in a set.

cant be deep v...more like velocity aerohead very commone among to aussies..

indeeed bullhorns give u massive climbing power...riser sux at climbing.

[knucks]

Yah, those are not Deep V's. The the V's are thicker than those.

I do like those wheels tho, if someone can tell me what they are, I may prefer those over deep V's.

I think my next wheelset will be (whatever the stiffest rim is) laced to some Dimension hubs w/ a rear fixed/fixed.

As far as risers, drops, etc...I first rode drops but realized I never used the bottom part, so I chopped and flipped them. I rode on bullhorns for a little and then wanted to be trendy so I got some risers, but those sucked for climbing and I can't imagine skidding with them right now. I currently am back on bullhorns as I like climbing on those as well as when I skid I switch my hand placement. Naww mean?

Hey dude they are velocity AEROHEAD... as strong as the OPEN PRO but in a cheaper price. Well i think they r the aerohead..here's the pic:

[stfuken]

thanks guys

repped you all

[sycamore no more]

From that angle they could have been deep V's because Velocity makes a prebuilt gold wheelset with Velocity hubs. Angles fool! But the Open Pro is way stronger than the Aerohead.

Haha its alright buddy...i know my velocity stuff cause i see velocity every single day at uni. Most of the nicer bikes here run velocity cept me. I love my open pro...sexyyy

I repacked my hubs few days ago...that was smoooth as.

[doczein]

so i think i'm gonna go with bullhorns. would it be better to just do a flip/chop or buy bullhorn bars instead?

[greentalks43]

I prefer flip/chops, never had a problem, I think actuall bullhorns leave you stretched out unless you get a slightly shorter stem so you can take advantage of the numerous hand positions.

Buying a bullhorn will be easier...u can get a Nitto one w/o drops, depends how u wnat it reallli.

Flip and chop can be very short.

[kenthenoob]

anyone play around with these before?

[goldengloves]

I personally really like the pursuit bar; Other than risers, this is what I use but granted I don't need handlebars to climb hills.....as there really aren't any around here.

Those are the shit, my friend Christo has them on his bike.

If you're from SF you've probably seen his bike... Jake The Snake spokecard; Victory, win, over, kaput.

If you see him or me yell at us to ride.

[goldengloves]

sycamore- Any of those frames over 55?

[sycamore no more]

I think the red Vivalo might be a 55 actually. Didn't get to go in but my friend said he had read the measurements and think it was a 55. They need to send us bigger frames, y'know... for my tall friends.

[kenthenoob]

glad to hear it--both the frame and on the bars. i've really been wanting to get these bars lately... now i just might! thanks guys.

jeremy, have you seen those at box dog?

[goldengloves]

Yea, no love for those over 6'. I guess I need to just keep trolling egay.

Thanks for checking though!

i have two city bar setups. risers, then a pair of those nittos. the nittos are great anytime you're racing or just wanting to a long ride.
