CruzBike style handle bars on my Baron

[Andrew Wilson]

I decided to give the Cruzbike control set up a try on my Baron. I installed a set of Gary-2 bars and SRAM Double Tap controls. Only took a short ride but I really like it. Much more comfortable. It steers quicker but I quickly adapted. I think this is going to be a worth while upgrade.

how SMALL is that front wheel?

 

[Andrew Wilson]

It's a 20" ( 406) the rear is 700c

I thought it was a 16" front wheel!

 

[Andrew Wilson]

yea, the 700c rear makes the front look smaller. I keep thinking about putting a 26" fork and a 559 wheel on it for testing.

Would the 559 fork give the correct trail?

How well does the 406 front wheel corner ?

 

[Andrew Wilson]

Just fine...but you dont want to hit a rock in a corner, the front will slide out fast

Loving the bars so much now I have changed the fork and front wheel to a 559. Now it's a 700c rear/ 559 front. Really a great improvement.
