I’d love to get your advise (including images if possible) regarding the setup of your T-bar on your 29ers/ 36ers.
I am trying to find the best angle/ state, but it’s a trial and error process that may be redundant if I could use your experience regarding it
Yes, I guess it make sense - but on the other hand I thought that maybe there is a certain riding position that is better/ easier in general for holding the T-bar with both hands.
I am not sure it is correct, but in several tries I made it seemed to me that it was easier to hold the T-bar with both hands when the body is bent forward than when sitting up straight.
Could it be the key to sort out this issue for me?
Good observation; to get that forward bend while having support you can either extend the bar to put the handles far away or have them closer but lower so you reach more down than forward. I’ve come to prefer the latter.
Until recently I was using Nimbus Shadow setup like this:
I’ve now moved to a handle setup closer to the off-road biased T-bar setup on my 29er but replaced the standard bar ends with some drop bar ends. These give the forward leaning position when really cranking, a bit more upright position for slower speeds, and a control position for braking. This looks a bit funny but has turned out to be a fantastic setup for mixed riding.
Wow, thanks a lot for detailed info and pics - I will try setting my T-bar accordingly and see how it goes.
I will be out for another training in a couple of hours and I can’t wait to try this.
