Thanks Russ! 5 hours later I’d have my Redshift bars set up...and then I’d notice I’d forgot my cabling...

I added the bars to my road bike. 47cm, seemed extra wide. After a 5 hour ride I can say that I loved the feel! Made the bike super comfy! Felt great with standing climbing, seated riding and just all around awesome! Had to lengthen both brake cables and housings (a bit of a pain) but well worth the effort! Added top grips and wrapped with a regular roll of bar tape. Also have the redshift suspension seatpost. Both of these turned my road bike into a fast comfy couch!

The kitchen sink bar drops pretty much are at the same hight for the rider, since the top bar has a rise, no?! You basically have a taller straight bar position. Super smart. Looks like a great line of products.

Great video. I have the complete Handlebar system with the "Aero" package. I tend to use that feature more to attach things than any real aero functions. Have been using the system for about a month now on my Salsa Warbird. I am quite happy the fit, quality and features. I also have the stem and the seatpost and really like Redshift's focus on long-range comfort. Keep up the good work and thanks for quality content.

I find all of your content to be entertaining Russ! I first saw them here and bought a Ritchey Venture Max Comp for one bike and liked it so much that I got another for my other bike. The WCS version. Both are very nice. My two bikes are super dialed fit wise and they are very comfortable all day rides. This Redshift stuff seems to me to be made for people that are not so comfortable on their bikes. If it helps them, that's great, but it just seems like a short cut to comfort on what may very well turn out to be the wrong bike in the long run. But I'm an old guy, so take this with a grain of salt.

Might have to give these a try, as I was about to swap 15 degree stem for 17 degree to get a bit more rise. But what I like is the reduced flare, "gravel" bars, IMO, have WAY too much flare in general. The drop grips are an interesting concept, but not with the Ergon style shark fin on them... Maybe it's just me, but I swist a lot in in the drops depending on terrain & body position. If I hadn't just double wrapped with Bontrager super tacky under Soma Zesty, I'd try it with some mountain or BMX style round grips.

I think my perfect bar would be the Ritchey Venture Max shape with a 25mm rise on the top like the Kitchen Sink's 20mm and without the goofy bump in the drop.

@stinkyfungus 3 жыл бұрын

The "goofy bump" harks back to the 90's with ergo bump that many bars sported in the drop. I like it. In fact we used to (and I still do) take a half handlebar shim and stick it to the drop with double sided foam tape where the cup of my palm would be in the drops, on bumpless bars and then wrap over it. I like the bump, it indexes your grip in the drops instantly - and provides additional bar retention in rough or violent conditions (back in the late 90's I was a crit guy... lotta rubbing in crits - and a lotta staying in the drops to protect your bar.) On the venture max the bump helps off road, IMHO really locks your hand to the bar. My old bianchi roadbike had drop bumps, and my old surly crosscheck from 99' had drop bumps.

@bennywatson902 3 жыл бұрын

@@stinkyfungus Yes, I remember the ergo bars. I tried them and never got really comfortable on them. But other people love them. I have no problem with them being an option, but it is not an option I would take. I have a set of Venture Max bars on an Advocate Seldom Seen drop bar MTB and I love the shape of the bars, but the bump just doesn't work for me. It hasn't been enough of a problem to make me change the bars, but I wish they weren't there. Different strokes...

@leighreavill-tc7ku 25 күн бұрын

I bought a set of the bars with the aero loop on them unfortunately I couldn’t fit them to my bike due to having cross top levers which fit to the flat section of the bars . There’s not enough room with the aero loop . Just something to be aware of if you have or want the secondary cross top brake levers.

@slantedorbit 3 жыл бұрын

I assume the flattened tops on the Ritchey also add compliance in addition to comfort (and a touch of aero). Surprised Redshift didn’t flatten tops given that their primary focus is adding compliance.

@not_that_Rick 3 жыл бұрын

I was interested in the loop version, not so much for aero but extra space to attach stuff. However (& I may be in a minority of one here) I really don't get on with flared bars. I ride mostly on the hoods & found I didn't like even the much smaller flare of Kona's stock bars (on a Sutra), it made me bend my wrists & elbows in ways that made them ache. I switched them after a few weeks for some Deda Zeros (plus a longer stem), with the same width tops but no flare, & the aches went away. I messaged Redshift & they have noted my preference. If anyone feels the same way & messages them too, they may consider doing a non-flared version if there is enough interest.

Specialized had something similar for their handlebars a few years back. It was essentially a length of segmented triangles with a curved leading edge where it rests against the bar. You could use 1 or 2 on each side. That allowed a piece to build up the curve and another for the straight section. It found it helpful. This seems a bit easier to install. Bonus that it can be sized to handlebar width.

@chris1275cc 3 жыл бұрын

Shimano do something similar *Dura-Ace SL-BS79 Outer Cable Guide - Y86B22000* They were originally designed to smooth out the feel of cables under the bar tape but I know a few people who use them to change the ergonomics of their bars. They are surprisingly cheap for Dura-Ace branded stuff too, I paid £2 for a pair here in the UK.

I am almost considering buying the Redshift stem for my carbon road bike. I tend to get a bit of finger tip numbness on rough textured roads even with my fit dialed and thicker bar tape, so that may be the fix to help with road "buzz".

@justpedal65 3 жыл бұрын

Carbon bars are supposed to help too, along with top quality gel gloves. So many of the "middle of the road" gloves have a 1:1 Eva foam pad to match the gel pad. I have had better luck with full gel pads...like Giro's 3mm technogel. I also just got an FSA K-WING AGX set-up...but haven't got them installed yet. The flats at the curve right before the shifter/brake hood position seem amazingly comfortable just holding them in my hands. They are also ovalized at the climbing position like the Ritchey's in Russ' video. Internal routing for cables is super clean too. Can't wait to try them.

@Aubreykun 3 жыл бұрын

Is it all fingers or just two of them? If it's the latter you have to check your fit again - in particular wrists should be straight, and your shoulders should be back and down, not hunched with your arms "reaching" for the bars. Ulnar or radial deviation in the wrists can cause nerve issues.

@johnnydoe66 3 жыл бұрын

@Aubreykun 3 жыл бұрын

@@johnnydoe66 Your bike overall may in fact just be too stiff. Lowering the tire pressure may help as a quick test, as well as changing to a different model of stem if you have spares to see if your current is too stiff. If you still get it after that, I'd ask to borrow a friend's bike (or seeing if a LBS has a demo you can test ride) to check if the problem remains. If all else fails you may in fact need to check with your doctor & possibly a sports medicine specialist for any sort of underlying issue.

At first glance, those bars and accessories seem super gimmicky and complicated, especially when your Ritchey bars already come with those features molded into the bar...

What is the difference in weight between the Ritcheys and these kitchen sink bars with all of the accessories attached?

Will those bar grips fit the Ritchey V max? Those narrower bars have been one of my favorite shapes besides the Nittos Ive used for a long time. My only complaint was that narrow width. I'm definately ordering the XLs. In my experience, the key setting up dirt drops is a high hand position. Try a really tall stem. If youre riding pretty rough terrain and singletrack, it makes a really big difference to stay in the drops as much as you can.
