Strengths: Nice 'n' wide. If correctly positioned/angled, perfect hand position for out of the saddle hammering.Weaknesses: It ain't light. Nor is it particularly cheap for an alloy bar.Bottom Line: Purchased this bar after finding that my traditional choice of riser bar wasn't going to cut it on a 29'er (put the bars up higher than a I prefer, even with no spacers and turning the stem upside down.) However, when I first tried it, I installed it much like a traditional bar, so the bar would slightly angle downward. Bad move. I took it off and swore to not ride it again. But, I rode a friend's bike with the bar angled up - and then I got it. So, proper set up is the key. Once I reinstalled it with the proper set up, I've bought another and am very happy with both. Perhaps the best bar for singlespeeding, due to the perfect hand position and width to get maximum leverage while out of the saddle hammering.

Strengths: Wide (28.5") with comfortable sweep (15*) and very stiff for a 25.4 bar. The forward sweep offsets the need for a longer stem which is very nice. Plenty of leverage sitting or standing. Provides increase control over a standard/shorter flat bar.Weaknesses: Weight (330 grams).Bottom Line: Great alternative bar. Very comfortable and stiff. A good amount of sweep and provides plenty of control and leverage. Go get one!

Strengths: Width, more natural hand positioning, no rise, less fatigue in shoulders and neck, designed for 29ers!Weaknesses: It's maybe a little heavier than other bars, but that's about it.Bottom Line: A really nice bar, especially if you have problems with hand fatigue and your hands going numb on longer rides like I did. For me the Fleegle didn't totally eliminate this (I'm 42 so that might be working against me), but it made things a lot more comfortable. The extra width on the bar is great, and I feel like it opens my chest a bit, allowing me to breathe easier. I really like the width and hand positioning while doing extended climbing as well.
The Niner FlatTop 9 was the first bar I ran on my MCR 9 and it's a real nice bar as well. I think I'm sold on the Fleegle, though.

wow these bars are super wide at over 28" . The best part of these bars is the sweep. I really prefer a greater sweep that most "common" bars don't have.Weaknesses: none yetBottom Line: These are great bars if you are looking for more rearward sweep. The sweep really makes my wrists and arms much more comfortable during and after a ride. These bars are stiff when it comes to steering the bike with just enought flex to take the sting off the trail. On-One makes a great product and I would recommend them to anyone who likes to customize their ride to suit their personal taste.
I have a Mary bar too and they are great as well.
5 chillis for Value and 5 for performance.
