28.6mm Handlebar on Crossrunner MK1

[behrensma]

Hello, I'm wondering if anybody succeeded to mount a 28.6 mm handlebar on the MK1 CR, as the LSL conversion kit is not available anymore,  for better handling, stability and design.

I fitted 22mm bars to mine Renthal. I used a 50mm SWMOTECH riser and then SWMOTECH barbacks. You could use the bigger clamped barbacks for the thicker bars.

Hello, thanks for info! In the meantime I found an LSL X02 and 50 mm SW Motech risers as used parts and ordered a 22mm to 28mm converter (also SW Motech). That fits and looks good,  bar is slightly lower than the LSL conversion kit with 90 mm risers.
I hope also German TÜV will not complain.

Sorry. Slightly inaccurate info by me. They were SWMOTECH Vario barbacks. These combined with the 50mm risers ended up being almost exactly 90mm

Glad you got something sorted though

I have now 70 mm riser (50 + 20 of the converter) , but to me this seems to fit even a bit better. So this could be an alternative for the LSL kit which is sold out.
I haven't completed yet, I can post a photo if somebody is interested.
And the vario barebacks don't have street approval in Germany.

Here’s mine

This is how it looks with the far bar.
