Bike Polo Handlebars and Stems

This picture shows the disadvantage of standard mountain bike bars, which make it difficult to hit on the near (left) side of the bike. The player shown here is reaching under his arm to hit, which prevents him from generating any power. The other three players are using our bars, and would have no such difficulty.










Polo Handlebar:    $10
Patented design to facilitate strokes on either side of the bike.
Chrome-plated steel

150mm reach, 12 degree rise. Recommended for use with
polo handlebar to keep it from hitting one's knees.

Stem risers can be used to adjust the height of the stem, so that the handlebars can be set at the same height as the seat, which is considered ideal for bike polo.

A-head stem risers (top) raise an a-head stem either 3.5" (top left) or 2.5" (top right). $25.00 apiece.

Quill stem risers (bottom) raise a 22.2mm quill stem 4.0" (bottom right), or can be used to adapt a 21.1mm quill fork to a 25.4mm a-head stem when combined with a 1mm shim (21.1mm stem riser bottom left; shim bottom center). The 22.2mm stem riser can also be used with a 25.4mm a-head stem if one wants to raise the bars less than 4". Quill stem riser: $25.00     Shim: $2.00

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMBINATION OF A QUILL STEM RISER AND AN A-HEAD STEM SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR BIKE POLO ON A RELATIVELY SMOOTH FIELD, AND NOT FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING ON ROUGH TERRAIN.
