CHROME COW HORN 60's 70's BIKE HANDLEBARS OR CRUISER TYPE VERY RARE CHOPPER ERA TYPE HANDLE BARS

Product Information

Named after Forest Gump, who was more of a runner than a rider, these bars are so comfortable you’ll forget to stop riding and over shoot your desired destination. The are made from laminated bamboo with a carbon fiber sleeve clamping surface. They are offered in two difference widths, 760mm and 650mm, and are based around a 22° sweep. Really, the only reason you would use ape hanger handlebars is because you like the way they look. They are a novelty. Some people think they look funny or cool. They also fit in with the aesthetics of some types of bikes like low riders and cruisers. If you don’t care for the looks, there is really no reason to consider ape hangers.

Inefficient- The poor aerodynamics cause you to burn more energy to maintain your pace. Particularly while riding through a headwind or at speed. The angle of the handlebar can give you flexibility while riding the bike. The middle position of the handlebar should be as straight as possible so that you can take a smooth turn. Plenty of space for mounting accessories- Due to the width and relatively straight tubing, there is room for a light, GPS, bell, cycling computer, phone, etc.Posters of Donny Osmond all around my bedroom walls.

For example, drop bars usually range from 34-50 cm. Usually, the rider chooses handlebars with grips about shoulder-width apart. This allows the arms to sit parallel to one another. For other types of bike handlebars, the rider may prefer a wider grip position. This is often the case with flat bars which measure around 58-60 cm wide on average. Not great for controlling the bike- Condorino bars are very narrow. They don’t give you much leverage for steering. You can’t shift and brake at the same time- The brakes are located on the curve and the shifters are usually on the ends of the bars. This means you have to move your hands often to control the bike.

Gel- These grips are durable, comfortable, and affordable. They don’t absorb sweat or breathe well so blisters can be a problem. The current ISO standard handlebar clamp diameter is 25.4 mm (1 inch). This is the size that most modern mountain bikes and road bikes use. There are three different sizes of bullhorn handlebars. They are 26X400mm, 26X420mm, and 31.8x400mm. Generally, the bullhorn handlebar is designed for time trial style brakes, and bar ends shifter. Another neat feature is the integrated turn signals. You can indicate to other road users via the rear-facing LED lights activated by buttons on either side of the stem. These handlebars are available in four color finishes to best suit your bike.

Easier on your wrists- The upright position takes your body weight off of your wrists and arms and moves it to your butt. This is great for people with wrist problems. Heavy- This is probably the heaviest bike handlebar available due to the extreme length. After all, they use a lot of material to make.
