Yup, it's time to replace the old handlebar with a new one. There is nothing wrong with the old one. I don't have back problems now and I'm trying to avoid them in the future. The riser handlebar should help prevent back problems. This is not a how to video, it's just how I did it video. This is the first time I ever did this. It's not a difficult task and anyone can do it. Let's see how this goes for me!! Good, bad, or ugly? You decide 😜
You can tell by the shadow line, comparing the top and bottom video that the raised handle bar did raise my riding position. It looks like I'm much more comfortable.
Please let me know which color stickers I should put on my new handlebar. Pick your favorite and let me know in the comments!

A few people have asked me about getting "Old Man ~ Fat Bike" stickers. You can purchase a small (3" x 1.44") sticker for $2.50 or the large (4" x 1.91") sticker for $4.00. If you would like to order one or more please visit the the following link;
www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
Once I see the transaction I can contact you via email and get your mailing address and find out exactly which sticker or stickers you want.

I'd try #1 to match the grips and pedals and if it isn't a close enough match or you just get tired of it switch them out for #3. Nice upgrade to a sweet bike! You'll have to come back to Forest City in St. James after all of this nasty freeze thaw stuff ends. They added a some nice new trail with some great rollers and jumps. You can stay entirely on single-track now and never have to touch the paved path (except to cross it in a few places)!

Happy New Year to you and your family 😷 !! Follow the 'less is more' mantra. In otherwords no more orange on those bars ! If you swap the grips for black/grey Ergons and get some blue/black pedals, then the #3 blue would look good ! You could then trade the remaining decals for a black Sharpie or some chalkboard paint and make those hideous yellow Maxxis logos dissappear 😉

Thanks for checking out this video @Berm Boss!! Sounds like I made a good choice according to you. I've ridden with the new bars a few times and I like the rise. They seem to be a bit to wide, I never trimmed them yet. I'll get it out on some trails soon and see how they feel. I have a feeling they need to be narrower.
