Zazen - nothing happens next this is it.
Re: jones bars not working...........again
got mine from SJSC
Re: jones bars not working...........again
Ton, you tried them with a really high-rise stem?
RE Jones bar angles, Jeff recommends they are st up as Scotroutes and Alpinum say, angled down a fair bit. I have mine very similar to that pic, 15, maybe 20 degrees downward tilt. The problem is that most bikes have a low front end and Jones bars work brilliantly (imo/ime etc) on a bike with a higher front end. Angled down, the grips get 20-30mm lower than the already low position of average bikes - as Marcin and Mart's post, I had same experience fitting them to a Genesis. That's where the +2.5" rise version came from as I understood it.

Tony,
Where abouts are you?
I could loan you some Jones risers to try if you want. I am located near Blackburn.
PM if you are.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
My Jones bars felt fine on my Jones, and on my Stooge, until I tried some Stooge Moto bars and realised my Jones bars have been far too low. Night and day.
Next step is a longer steerer for the Jones I reckon.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
I've decided my Joan's bars rip offs are not working. They're too low. I'm considering changing to stooge bars but I love the loop support for the bag and also for a great climbing position. What to do... Least I didn't fork out for carbon Jones bars, but they do do a riser bar...

Re: jones bars not working...........again
That's exactly the one I have fitted. It looks so goofy though.

We shouldn't be afraid of how stupid we look on our velocipedes.
There are limits though...

Re: jones bars not working...........again
I have a couple of bikes with massive amounts of stack height under the stem.
I have to admit that they do look very dorky but if you keep a fuel tank bag permanently attached you hardly notice it at all.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
I think this looks great. I know it's all in the eye of the beholder etc but I'd certainly have one of these ... I also appreciate this this isn't really owt to do wuth Jones bars either so as you were.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
That’s a Humpert/Ergotec High Charisma by the looks of it.
I have one of those in Matt black in new condition if anyone wants one. PM me if interested.
I got it for my Krampus but opted for robbing the Firestarter forks off my Fargo instead. They still had an uncut steerer so gave me the rise I needed.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
The Ergotec i have is Matt black but the casting looks identical. Maybe the face plate is different but can’t tell from that angle

Re: jones bars not working...........again
If you are looking to fit stooge motos onto a 'normal' bike and want to keep the reach short, try one of these:- https://www.silverfish-uk.com/products/ ... em-FG-10mm
Spendy but puts the bars about 2" above and 3/8" in front of your fork steerer. It makes the steering incredibly light and direct as your hands are right on the steerer axis. I use these on my Ice cream truck with motos and on the Kramp with sunrises. They are also bomb and idiot proof...

WTF does that ^ actually mean?The FG10 configuration provides an extreme racing focus whilst significantly improving control

Mondraker forward geo stems are great for mondraker bikes that are quite a bit longer, but I've never found this nor the one I had on a club roost dh bike back in the day that had a 0mm long stem on any good really...unless the top tube is at least 50mm longer to compensate the lack of stemmage.

I appreciate that Allen but really WTF does "The FG10 configuration provides an extreme racing focus" actually mean? It appears to mean nothing at all.

Re: jones bars not working...........again
Oh sorry wrong angle. That means fig rolls to the power of 10, can't explain the "extreme racing focus" marketing sub standard though. I hear that type of faffery all day, as you probably know Stuart,and actually glaze over it.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:08 pm I appreciate that Allen but really WTF does "The FG10 configuration provides an extreme racing focus" actually mean?
