Easton EA70 Monkeybar on a XC bike?

Hello there,

I was looking for a riser handlebar to put on my Jamis Dragon. I bought an Easton EA70 Monkeybar, thinking that it would fit my current EA30 stem. It doesn't. I didn't realize how much thicker the Monkeybar is compared to the stock EA30 flatbar.
I'm still planning on making this work. I ordered a EA50 stem from JensonUSA with the correct width size.

Has anyone else used this bar on their XC bike?

Thanks in advance!

I used to run the EA70 on my XC rig and now I run the EC70. Pretty much the same diff. I run the one with the larger rise also. I love it! Only advise, I find it kind of wide so I took 3/4" of each end. This is personal pref though.
