CHEST HIGH HANDLE FOR 36er

curbrider · 2008-05-20, 05:55 AM

Hi Everyone,
Long time reader, first time thread starter.
But I have not seen any info on this below.

I found a video of a 2 riders Dustin and Alexander from the Netherlands both using chest high 36er handles.
The best (but poor) detail that I have is this screen capture:
Attachment 26759

or you can see the whole video (not in English) at:
http://www.vimeo.com/836861

or an article in English with some translation of the video (but no comments about the handle)(Scroll towards bottom) at:
http://ridethelobster.wordpress.com/

My questions: Is this an advantage

?
Wouldn't this make UPDs too dangerous

?
Did I give away the Netherlands RTL secret weapon

?
Who is going to make/try one and share

?

Not me, Mark (Curbrider), in answer to the last question.
I am very new to 36 inch riding and still trying out my purple T7 handle. I'm not yet comfortable with high speed. My knees have a bit of pain so for now I ride with 170 mm cranks which helps in my case. I'm tall. And staying away from curb drops for now.
My goal is for some commuting to work 4 miles each way.
