Tried finding a bar thread, didn't look to hard but didn't see one.

Anyways what kinda bars you riding on your 29er, and for what style of riding?

I'm in the minority. I'm rocking 560mm bars. There are narrow trees where I ride and I couldn't imagine riding with some of these bars and you probably feel the same way about my bike. There were some very tight spots when I was using my 580 bar last year.

After tonight I took the narrow bars off. When I had to correct from sliding I overcorrected with the narrow bars. Maybe it was just because it was dark and I haven't been on my bike in awhile, but I'm going to try the wider bars. I put my salsa bars on that are 25 inches wide. So I went from a 22 3/4 inch bar to a 22 and now a 25. We will see how these work. I just think my handling skills were off tonight, but I've been wanting to try the wide bars again anyways and now is the best time to do that.

Trying a DH stem and a riser bar in an attempt to shorten the cockpit a little on my Stache. Both are cheap ebay finds. I may get a better bar if I decide I like this setup. I find my self really liking the solid feel of the DH stem. I know the green doesn't match. Don't really care.
