Price Paid:
$40.00 Bike Setup:
Lugged steel framed track bike with front brake Summary:
Good, but if you don't run aero levers tape some cable in the grooves before you tape it up Strengths:
Gives good upright position for city riding in particular, you don't get so hunched up after hours on the bike, not too expensive Weaknesses:
I'd prefer it if they didn't have cable grooves on it as I only use one brake (fixed gear) and I also find that using an aero brake lever ends up with the cable bending too sharply, resulting in poor braking (use an old style cable-out-the-top lever instead) Similar Products Used:
Drop bars turned up and the ends cut off

home from work Bike Setup:
Specialized Sirrus, coda stem, RX100 everything else, Sora hubs with Open Pros Summary:
Good bar, I bought it to replace a really narrow OEM set of drops. I hated the drops because you can't get good visibility and the tops were too narrow for my hands. I am also a mountain biker, and I hated the way the brake lever position negatively affected braking power (calipers are pretty lame compared to V-brakes anyway). The switch to the Airwing was amazing - made it very easy to get to the brakes, more braking power, better visibility, very comfortable, better grip for bunny hopping and bumping up curbs, etc. They were only about £25 here, which is not bad at all. Strengths:
perfect width, good stretch Weaknesses:
none that I know Similar Products Used:
None
