A shorter stem and a bigger/heavier front tire will help if you are having troubles with "twitchy" front end. I don't think a dirt drop is going to help if you end up in the same position- the bars look high to me and it sounds like you need a bit more weight forward.
Raising the bars makes the brakes easier to reach, but it put more weight back on the rear wheel. If you are riding off road and need quick access to the brake, try a set of the top bar levers. "cross levers". I have a set of the noodle bars and the old dirt drop bars, and I like the dirt drop bars better for some reason, but I would have a hard time saying why exactly. The flare was nice and the lever sat right where I liked them. Summary Fast = drops but also = harder to reach brakes in the bumps. If you want fast and brakes go with the cross levers. A shorter stem and heavier tire will reduce the "twitchiness". and you are only half mad On Mar 30, 7:37 pm, andrew hill <neurod...@gmail.com> wrote: > i'm still puzzling over this Bleriot .. wondering if a dirt drop stem will > calm the twitchy front end down, versus the Technomic dlxe that is on there > now, while keeping the noodle bars. maybe improve the handling with a closer > bar position a bit? > > am i mad to think so? :) > > best, > andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
