- Prepping the Hatchet to go tackle my first Midsouth Gravel event. These bars seem to offer a lot of positional options. Looking forward to giving them a go!

Thats a 2x 6 pack reward for your mate given the work Involxed.
"I'm a function over form guy"...totally get it!
I love the concept of those bars... I'd have to figure out a new light config though as the mount is round. BTW... awesome to see another Hatchet. ❤
If your light can mount via a GoPro style adapter you could do that.
@@pedalandypedal that would be too easy. Lol.
@fatbikejamie 😝
In the Netherlands they have a saying:
'A good steal is better than a bad idea.'
The wide handles were introduced years ago in the Netherlands on tour and city bikes.
hmm, not like this bar (unless there was something obscure that hit NL and didn't make its way here to Belgium (the hearland of cycling ;-) )
Great to see an installation video with these. Was wondering how difficult it would be with hydraulic brakes and if it is even possible. Great to see it works. Considering these for the next season and therefore as a xmas gift this year to me ^^
super easy routing with hydraulic brakes -fully internal routing even! And they just redesigned their bars for easier routing. There's a video coming soon from @roadcyclingacademy that'll highlight the new redesign. Happy riding! Merry Xmas (albeit a bit early!)
@@Christine-th8bl Oh, that sound really neat! Thx for that info. Looking forward to it. (Most probably it will indeed be a xmas present for myself then ^^)
go ahead and treat yourself!
I don't think I'll ever get used to being on camera lol.
I'd love to see the shifter button hack
@WeRideSouth looks like you’ll be on camera again sooner than later, ppl want to know more about your shifter diy!
Yes, I have the bars and wanting to do the same thing...

@@joelgutierrez2640 I've seen many install remote shifter buttons (both tops and sprint) on these bars. easy peasy!!
Do you have a link to the place you bought it from????

Interesting! They look so strange, I wonder how they change the overall fit of the bike. If they made a cockpit with a normal Garmin mount (better looks) with a sizing guide so that your position with hands on shifters doesn't change, this could sell. Although I guess being aero with hands on in the middle of the bars is anti aero given how upright you are, so I'm not sure how useful that is. I guess you make the worst position on the bike in terms of aero less bad?
Doesn’t change it much if you account for the drop. In regards to aero, in the truck you’re not much different than on aerobars. Used them yesterday at Midsouth for the 100 mile course and was either on the hood or in aero the whole race, they were great. Coefficient makes a model without the bridge, they’re called the AR.
Well, then you're in LUCK! The RR does NOT change your fit position on the bike. You can even keep your same stem AND same stack height! What you do win though is extra comfort so you feel fresh as a daisy after every ride. A WIN-WIN if you ask me. ;-)
Can we get a how to on the shift buttons?
Actually the bar has holes for top and shift remote buttons. :-)
@@Christine-th8bl what do you mean sorry
@@plproductions8887 there are holes for inserting shift buttons on tops as well as drops on the RR bar. It is also designed to internally route remote shift cables if not using wireless remote shifters. Hope this helps. 😊
@@Christine-th8bl yes thank you any specific buttons that are need?
@@plproductions8887 hi, I'm referring to the standard remote shifters for when climbing (on the tops) or on the drps (when sprinting).
No, I did not read the black hoodie wrong. I did not read the black hoodie wrong.
😂😂
hmmm, apparently I did! Can you explain...for those a bit slower on the uptake? 🤣🤣
I don't know why everyone talks about these like they're weird and ugly--I think they look great. I don't think it's a function over form choice.
Completely agree. Purists and weight weenies will always find something to disagree with when innovative products are released.
I personally find them a bit "terminator-looking". Well, actually this is what got me into cycling in the first place mannnnny years ago. A guy showed up at my doorstep in the middle of a snowstorm for our first date...this was in the Village in Manhattan mind you! When I opened up the door it was love at first sight...my date was standing next to the sexiest machine i'd ever seen, a Breezer mountain bike with RockShox suspension! Eventually I ditched the guy but kept his bike and a couple years later became a pro cyclist for Team Breezer! To this day, I remain attracted to the extraordinary - like the RR bar! Like YOU said, both function AND form matter equally.

you want an elbow in position? put on a conventional aerobar and be done with it. it's a gimmick. cool looking one though
Not all events allow aero bars.
@@pedalandypedal agreed, and the RR bar IS UCI-LEGAL!!!
That's one ugly bar 😂
It's clearly a matter of perspective...and your perspective is WRONG! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding! As a pro cyclist of 20 years I've had to ride everything from the sweetest machines and components to brakes that were just for show. pffff
