Overall, it is important that you choose bike handlebars as well as other cool fixie bike parts that suit your riding style. We've included both fixie handlebars and a few other random styles too because status quo isn't always the way to go. Yes, that rhymes!
When braking, this force of pushing on the handlebars would become even greater, even if you are riding a "cruiser" (where more of your resting weight would be on your butt). Aesthetic - The Dutch style is one of the biggest draws to this style of bicycle, so it’s well worth getting a frame that you’re excited about. Many Dutch bicycles come in pastel colours or with artful decorations on the frame and chain casing. Frame Shape - Traditional Dutch bikes were built with a wave-shaped frame, which dips down in front of the seatpost so that you can step over the bike easily. But, some modern designs offer a diamond frame, which is much more similar to the shape of many road bikes. This is harder to step over, but it does allow you a more aggressive riding position, which can be helpful if your urban riding includes hills. Bike handlebars are purpose-built. For instance, most mountain bikers don’t want to ride with a traditional cowbell type handlebar and they most certainly won’t want to use aerobars. Similarly, most road bikers won’t want to use the type of flat bars or BMX bars that those riders user, so finding the right type of handlebar for your riding style is the first and most important consideration. Beyond that there are a number of other things you should consider when looking for a good set of handlebars. Some of these terms only apply to certain types of handlebars, like rise and sweep for mountain bike handlebars or drop and reach for road and gravel handlebars. Material I am quite confident you can safely replace these handlebars with "Dutch"-style bike handlebars. The most complicated would be to make sure you can safely use the brake levers. Adjust the angle by rotating the lever before tightening it down. Most brake levers allow to adjust the reach of the lever, in case you have trouble comfortably reaching for them. If you don't feel comfortable making these adjustments yourself, it would be best to have a bike shop do it for you.
One size fits all
Reach refers to the distance from the center of the handlebar top to the furthest point of the handlebars bend. However, this factor influences your comfort on the ride by dictating how wide and far you have to reach on your handlebars. The steel frame and fork of the 520 helps to absorb vibrations from the road, along with the balloon-type tyres. With a 6-speed gear system, it’s perfectly suitable for varying city terrain. It’s equipped with front and rear calliper V-brakes and it also has a reinforced stand to keep the bike stable when parked. The frames are made from high quality lightweight aluminium, making them swift, agile and easy to handle. Choose from a vast range of road bike handlebars and MTB handlebars at Wiggle and find the perfect fit for your bike and riding style.
You could also use older style drop bar brakes and install them on the top end of your bars if there is enough room for them. It won't look as good but is a cheaper solution. The brake type I am referring to: The FabricBike Step-City bicycle is a stylish bike, available in a range of colours, with a ladies design. But that’s not to say it can’t be ridden by men – of course it can. In the Netherlands, the classic Dutch step-through frame bikes are ridden by men and women alike, and are regarded as unisex. As well as being beautiful to look at, Pashley Cycles are incredibly durable. They’re made with sustainable steel – in keeping with the company’s ethos of sustainability. Pashley sources their parts locally where possible, and elsewhere in the UK, to keep their carbon footprint to a minimum. Available (subject to availability at Raleigh) in 3 frame syles. A low-step, Unisex model, a Crossbar option or a lowered crossbar option. All 3 models come with the following features:Spend way more than that. I don't want to do this, not because I can't afford it, but because I park my bike in the street all the time, and bike theft is a thing here, not a rampant problem, but it happens. The more the bike is worth, the more likely it is to get stolen. Once you're accustomed to it, then changing between tiller and conventional steering is no harder than driving two different cars, or sitting in a dining chair vs a computer chair. The butterfly handlebar, from Dutch Bike Bits, is most common on touring or trekking bikes. The overall design of these handlebars makes them great for long rides and their large surface area allows you to customize them as you see fit. Flat handlebars, like these above Flat Top RDO Carbons from Niner, are the most common type of handlebar on the market. They come standard on many bicycles and they provide the best all-around ride of any of the major types of handlebars. Founded in 1926, Pashley offers a variety of classic cycles, commercial cycles and tricycles. In recent years, they have also created products for city and urban bike hire schemes, including those in London and Edinburgh.
Also, butterfly handlebars tend to be a little heavier because they are considered a utility handlebar. For some, this extra weight isn’t a big deal, but for performance junkies, this may not be the ideal handlebar for you. Leading road and MTB handlebar brands on offer include Deda, Race Face and Zipp. The epic Wiggle steering selection includes BMX handlebars, drop handlebars for roadies, and aero handlebars for TT and racing. We also have a huge selection of bike headsets to choose from. Drop Handlebars As an alternative to the current brake/shifter configuration you could consider using bar end brake levers and install them on the top of the handlebars so you can easily reach them from a higher up (on the bars) hand position. Bar end brake levers look like this: Another type of popular fixie handlebars are Riser's. These are also popular on bikes that you see being ridden on trails and on rough terrain.Adopt the aero position and climb harder and faster with a set of drop handlebars from Wiggle. Choose from alloy or carbon drop bars from leading manufacturers, opting for drop down handlebars focused on comfort, or precision-engineered aero drop bars for an air-slicing race profile. Riser Handlebars Boost speed and save energy with the latest aero bars. Aero handlebars help you find an aerodynamic riding position, making them ideal for triathlon or TT racing and training. Since you’ll often spend longer bike rides in the same position, the classic straight handlebars are a solid choice. This type of handlebar is also suitable for shorter distances, like rides to work or the grocery store. Slightly bent handlebars and classic handlebars (the kind you find on so-called granny bikes or Dutch bikes) are also great for short distance rides. For longer distances, we recommend butterfly handlebars.
