Here are some of my favorite things about these bars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, the shoulders of the bars.<\/p>\n

This section features a gently sloping profile and a slight backsweep\u2014a rare combination for drop handlebars. It has that same feel as the RB001<\/a> and Syntace bars.<\/p>\n

These features are huge for me, since I was using the RB001 a lot when I first started riding bikes. It was like meeting and old friend.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s ever used one of those two legendary bullhorn bars will have a flashback. And when you grip the brake levers, you\u2019ll likely be surprised by how close the bars feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also, the fact that the bar ends are slightly longer, it prevents them from looking too stubby when you\u2019re tilt the bars. It adds a touch of visual appeal. It\u2019s a subtle detail, but it really makes a difference.<\/p>\n

The classic rounded style of the bars goes great with a rim brake bike like the Monestercross.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

But they also look great on modern and serious bike.<\/p>\n

The well calculated shape blends smoothly into any type of bike like rich miso blending in with any type of dish, bringing out its natural deliciousness.<\/p>\n

I consider the Get Around Bar<\/a> to be the best flat bar for a chill set up, and I now think the All Road Bar + is the best drop bar for a chill set up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":153636,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":153636,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1980,"height":1485,"file":"2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948.jpg","filesize":497894,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1280x960.jpg","width":1280,"height":960,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":236085,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1280x960.jpg"},"large":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1720x1290.jpg","width":1720,"height":1290,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":371063,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1720x1290.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-768x576.jpg","width":768,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":106200,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-768x576.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1536x1152.jpg","width":1536,"height":1152,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":311076,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-1536x1152.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":113582,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-800x600.jpg"},"yarpp-thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_1624-e1721900090948-120x120.jpg","width":120,"height":120,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5529,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948-120x120.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":153628,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_1624-e1721900090948.jpg"},"acf":{"not_to_displayed_on_top":true,"ctm-post-priority":"0"},"post-meta-fields":{"_oembed_b3e80db4829efdd90f18293aed804f44":["
