Yeh, it looks alright. Might go a bit slow though. Love you snaps. Why the sunline direct mount. I'm not a fan, they seem heavy. But direct mount IS the way. No more lining up wheels and bars.

It's true, they're so much better than your normal stems. 147? i thought they were like 200. E-13's come in at a touch over 170.

Lovin the bars too mate. Think i might have to get some new ones.

You both ride Norcos, your bikes are never going to be light unless you spend a substancial amount of cash and research like j5ive did.

Looks nice Nick, what rise are those bars?

Rise is either 19mm (3/4") or the 38mm (1.5") rise if its the V1, Nick. My money would be on the 1.5". I'm thinkin of pickin up some in the 19mm rise. Yeh low rise.

I think the rise is all about personal preference. I have a 1.5" rise and was considering getting some lighter, 1 inch rise bars. But keeping in mind I’m 6'2.5 its really not worth it. Don’t let people say it gives a better feel/handle for dh, up to you. ;)

So true. All depends on what you like, and how your bike is set-up. Sweet wheels Nick. Go get some spokes so you can learn how to lace them up.
