Back when my Veloheld Iron was set up as a dropbar MTB, I somehow only really felt comfortable in the drops. On the hoods, the bike always felt a bit too long to me, even with a very short stem.
So I decided to switch to a different handlebar. I was torn between a classic MTB bar and one with extreme backsweep, and in the end I went for what is probably the most comfortable option of all.
Technically, it’s more of a trekking handlebar — but if we’re honest, the bike itself is also more of a trekking / gravel / XC hybrid, however you want to define it.
Either way, I took the opportunity to add two skulls to the brake and shift cable housings right away.
It really is an evil bike.

Es gibt ein paar Firmen die mich zum Fanboy mutieren lassen.
Chris King steht da ziemlich weit oben. Seit nun 50 Jahren stellen sie in Portland Fahrradkomponenten her, die schön sind und auch noch sehr gut funktionieren. Die neue Farbe „Matte Gold“ ist ein echter Hinkucker.
