Jones Loops - again
Posted: Sun Oct 13, 2019 10:17 am
Has anyone used the original style Jones Loop bar and the SG Riser and care to offer an opinion based on experience? I thought Stu did a write up but can’t see anything in the Reviews section. I used the flat loops for a couple of years so I know them but if I take a punt on the SG Riser it’s a lot of money to shell out in the hope my body may evolve to fit.
My previous loops were set marginally higher than the saddle with a full uncut steerer. It looked hideous but worked for me. A new build means either having secondhand RS forks possibly with a cut steerer or carbon forks/steerer which only allow a minimum steerer length above the head tube hence the interest in the riser loop bar.
I found the BP magazine review which is just a repeat of the JB publicity but not seeing any long-term reviews. The pictures over on JB website appear to show the riser with a slightly more angled set up with the bar ends lower but this may just be an optical illusion.
You can also include the Carbon Loops in comparison as I haven’t entirely dismissed them either.
