    Yeah bike sold quite awhile ago. Got $800 for it I believe. I do have another 29er for sale right now. 2013 Trek Mamba. According to Bicycle Blue Book it's worth $696 in excellent condition, for a BCM member I'd take $650 without the Raceface bars. I'd really like to get $700 with them. Bars cost about $70 plus $45 in labor to install them. Had them cut down, they were really wide.

    And in case anyone is wondering, Bicycle Blue Book is what Wheel and Sprocket uses as its Bible when appraising trade-ins, there are literally thousands of bikes on there.

    That is the shop labor rate for 1 hour of labor. Takes a while to get everything set up correctly. They have you test them at full length, they were too wide for my liking, so I needed them cut. So everything is removed, bars placed in jig, cut. Replace all hardware, ride again. Everything needs to be torqued, I don't have an inch lb torque wrench either. I thought the $45 was reasonable for the amount of actual time that went into getting them right.

    Id rather not take a chance having my brake levers move when I'm going down a hill at 25mph hitting rocks and logs. I don't build bikes for a living, they do, so I paid. Plus, like I said, they needed to be cut first. I didn't want to take a chance screwing up my brand new bars by cutting them wrong or over tightening something on them.

    brake levers get torqued from 28 in lbs to 80 in lbs depending on brand and type of bar. So you certainly need a quality inch pound torque wrench for the job.

    "Need" is a strong and most often incorrectly used word.

    Doh just saw it sold,

    With your shock mounted vertical do you have any of the dreaded "pogo" effect when you start climbing a hill.

    I never had a problem with my FSR but have tried similar deigns and found it annoying.
