For those of you that love sweptback bars but don’t need or want riser bars behold the Meriwether Sweeper bars. Made from 3/2.5 Titanium these flat bars come in most any width and 14, 18, or 24 degree sweep. These are made for those of you that prefer flat bars or have trouble getting your bars low enough in relation to your saddle height. Lots of room along the straight section of the bars to mount accessories and strap bar bags to. ‘Microdot’ added on the centerline of the bar to help center a shim. The double-bend bar offsets the backsweep for those not wanting a shorter reach. Weight = 380g for 800mm double bend. Paypal link: $200 (single bend), $250 (double bend)
Also available is Shimzilla, a 22 to 31.8mm shim with a 1/8″ porthole to center the shim on the bars as well as indicator lines to center the stem faceplate. These two things make it super easy to center the shim on the bar and stem on the shim. Unlike other bar shims there is room to clamp other stuff that need a 31.8mm bar such as a phone mount, GPS, light, bell…etc. and without plastic adapters. The shim’s flat section is 3″ (76mm) wide and tapers for 1cm on either side. These also spread out the clamping force of the stem on the bar allowing us to make a lighter bar. Shimzilla or the PS shim included with the Sweeper bar. Shims fabricated in Durango, CO by Myth Cycles! Paypal link: $30 (includes shipping to US addresses)
