Not for an event of any kind, but it hit me today my gravel bike has flat bars (750mm) and 2.4" tyres.

It's a 29er.

Re: Alpkit LoveMud Confucius bars

Just thought I'd update this. I'm really pleased with the bars. I've not noticed the stiffness but I'm guessing the 6psi (sometimes slightly lower) helps with that. I'm totally sold on the width too which I wasn't sure about when I ordered them. I have even been into 'aero tuck' on the front :lol: I...

Re: More 'soft' stickers on the way.

SAE winging it's way to you!

Just a quick question - are the stickers the same size/shape as before?

Fitted mine yesterday. They look and feel the part in the round the block test.

They really suit the Pugs look imho.

Re: Drop bars on a 29inch hard tail mountain bike ....daft i

I was thinking along the lines ^ above.

An older bike (as in steeper xc geometry) would work much better. Something like the older style Karate Monkey etc.

Re: Alpkit LoveMud Confucius bars

Thanks for the reply.

Don't worry about the look, my Pugsley is a beast!

I've ordered a pair as the deal was too good to miss. The reviews say they are a bit stiff but then 6psi in a front tyre should help.
