Every time I see one of these posts I think it's going to be about female riders. Bikerumor didn't have any better luck.
http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/05/10/review-crank-brothers-kronolog-dropper-post-weighed-dismantled-ridden/ I love this. Including the Totem. They probably went this route because as a Vancouver company they realize that we won't buy into this big wheel stuff without a proper fork. Er, you mean Evil Imperial. 35mm rise on the CZ bar! Awesome. A standard should involve at least the majority of manufacturers for that particular part. When Chris King, Truvativ, and Race Face got together to create the ISIS crank in the 90s we were all for it because we new it would become the new norm. What makes you think these bars are inflexible? As a bigger dude riding the Shore I like a lot of DH stuff on my AM bike. But even after all these years we only have one direct-mount stem over 55mm and barely more bars with 28mm+ rise. I like this 35mm idea but it will be at least 5 years before there is a single option for outliers like me. Quite an amazing group of riders they've put together. Feels a little insular as Vancouver hasn't seen or heard much from the GT brand in years. I guess they're doing huge business somewhere! Boycott any company that doesn't support their athletes. Go buy one of Greg's shirts instead of spending your money on lame energy drinks. Rockstar and Monster are opportunists; you shouldn't support companies that treat their athletes this way. It's important to note that the Truvativ stem IS THE ONLY 60mm direct mount stem you can buy (I would love to hear of more). They are the only company that sees taller riders as a viable slice of the riding population. As a taller rider I find it hard to get my bar to the correct bar height without resorting to taller bars and extending my fork. The former seriously limits my bar choices and the latter screws up my bike's geometry. I hate the idea of buying a bar just because it's the only one that comes in a 38mm rise. These risers are a a great option. About Us
