[All cyclists are experts, at least when it comes to our equipment choices. We know why we chose what we chose, and what we think of the product after we've been using it. GamJams Reviews channels that collective expertise - category by category - into a tidy package of articles designed to help all of us make better equipment decisions. Buying what pros get paid to use is one way to go. But the candid testimonial of fellow racers who paid out of their own pocket - that's an endorsement that really counts.]
This week's GamJams Reviews is on Handlebars and Stems. If you want to add your own review, do it in the comments or on your own blog and throw a link in the comments.
- For Good Time Cycling Blog, it's all about Ritchey WCS and coordination: "There is something very pleasing to the eye when you see matching bars and stems. Double if you have additional matching seatpost (which I do)."
- Here's the review from The Granfalloon that started the mini-drop movement in the region (and beyond?)
- Stormyworld was moved to join it, and installed FSA Wing Pro Compact bars on his ride. He has a table comparing the FSA and Bontrager FIT VR specs.
- BRILF rolls with the Bontrager FIT VR OS "girlie-bars" and a new VCRC stem. His bar is a 44cm sprinters-standard-issue: "I have wide shoulders and am more inclined to contest a sprint than solo off the front, so I chose a wider bar that gives me more leverage when cranking out of the saddle (might as well put some of this upper body dead weight to work), instead of a narrower bar that keeps me more aerodynamic."
