Like the subject says, I'm curious to know - does anyone cut their handlebars down to be narrower? More specifically, anyone do that for MX?
I've got my bike setup for woods riding, and am running some regular old CR bends that I cut down rather narrow for a little faster response from the front-end, and for ducking/tucking trees in the tight stuff. I want to say I'm down around 30". I'm looking to make my bike a little more suited as an all-arounder. Are there disadvantages to running narrow bars in MX? Less leverage on the bars? Little more prone to arm pump or feedback from the front end?
FWIW, I am running a steering damper.
