These were the perfect bar for my adventure bike. I am an avid cyclist that rides road, gravel and mtb. This bike they are on sees pave, gravel, fire roads and single track. The capability of having the horns for the hoods or the swept back rise on the flats are a game changer for this bike. They also are great with my Velo Orange Mini Rando bag!

Crazy Bars

I purchased these for a rigid touring MTB. Initially, I really liked these bars for shorter mixed-surface riding. I found them comfortable and liked having the various hand positions.

However, this summer I went on a longer bikepacking trip on rough roads (GDMBR). On this longer trip, these bars contributed to severe nerve problems in my hands. The main riding position put my wrists at a slightly harsh angle, which over the course of a month of riding added up to a serious injury for me.

Other users have reported these bars being extremely comfortable and solving problems with the back/neck. This is all true, but for me the bars caused wrist/hand problems. Hopefully this problem is unique to me, but I wanted to warn other riders with hand problems.

These are just what I needed to get a better upright position on my mountain bike. I really like the slight sweep back on my wrists. I actually feel faster on the trails with these bars!

I added the Crazy Bars to my touring bike (1992 Giant Yukon) to replace the flat mountain bike bars, and I like the diversity of hand positions. The extra width affords me greater leverage and the nubs mimic Buckhorn bars. I also use the position inward of the nubs on occasion. The only negative
is that the extra width makes storage and transporting in my vehicle a bit awkward.
