Coker handle mini-review
I only spent about 15 minutes with the new handle, so you're welcome to take my opinion with a grain of salt. I had high hopes. I was excited about the adjustability, and the ability of using different bar ends, and not putting added forces on the seat/seatpost interface. ....but I don't like it at all. I thought I'd try it a little lower than i run the T7, but my knees rubbed on the sides and banged the T-bar. I had to raise it up to about the same position as the T7 for it to be usable, which is all the way up, and the rubbing was still too annoying. I think the dual-bar design is simply flawed. Adjustability is great, but you really have to crank everything down to get it to stay in place. I'm seems significantly lighter than the T7 but less so once you figure in the addition of a rail adapter. (which is optional, just not for me). For me, this needs narrower and longer. In its current form, I can't use it. -- mscalisi Unicycle for (reducing the) Buddha ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mscalisi's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4961 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70474 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

In its current form, I can't use it. Mine arrived today, after also spending 15 minutes with it I agree that it needs to be narrower. Length is fine however (for me) but then again I have only tried it in the highest position and in that configuration it rubs against my thighs. I'll be playing around more over the weekend but my impression so far is :/ -- nexty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nexty's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17087 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70474 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A single round, tubular telescoping main bar (Aluminum) attached to, and extending from the seatpost, (like the coker bar) to vary outward length (since we all have different sized arms lol!) So there should be two additional adjustments available; up/down adjustment, like, or similar to what the coker bar has now, and bar end adjustment. The dual bars are just not necessary IMO. Seems like a pretty ideal and simple set up. -- MuniAddict *'www.unigeezer.com' (http://www.unigeezer.com) * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70474 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
