On Ones Monster Cross Bike (basically a ridged Inbred with a long steerer and some drops)

Not sure how well it would work with a long top tube plus the extra lenght drop bars give?

Works ok, but you need a gopping stem to make it fit:

I switched to Jones bars instead.

Sight of that is a compelling argument for running something designed for dirt drops e.g. Singular Gryphon:



(not mine but a nice pic).

[chris n]

Yep. If you're going to do it, you might as well do it properly.

My recent purchase.... Just fitted Carbon rims and loving this bike so much. Not ridden much else since I bought it.

Are they Luxy bars Tony?

[YetiTony]

They certainly are Stu!

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'd be interested to hear what you think of them. Running woodchippers onmine at moment. Good but not got a lot else to compare them to.

[Bearbonesnorm]

I've got WTB Dirt drops which feel nice but the Luxy's seem to be much wider, which I think I might like ... shame they stopped making them.

Not tried wood choppers or wtb but like the luxy bar. Seems to be plenty of different positions and comfortable in the drops when off road.
Didn't realise they had been discontinued. Got them just at the right time!
