Hi Everyone,
Long time reader, first time thread starter.
But I have not seen any info on this below.

I found a video of a 2 riders Dustin and Alexander from the Netherlands both using chest high 36er handles.
The best (but poor) detail that I have is this screen capture:
26759


or you can see the whole video (not in English) at:
http://www.vimeo.com/836861

or an article in English with some translation of the video (but no comments about the handle)(Scroll towards bottom) at:
http://ridethelobster.wordpress.com/


My questions: Is this an advantage:confused: ?
Wouldn't this make UPDs too dangerous :eek: ?
Did I give away the Netherlands RTL secret weapon :D ?
Who is going to make/try one and share :) ?

Not me, Mark (Curbrider), in answer to the last question.
I am very new to 36 inch riding and still trying out my purple T7 handle. I'm not yet comfortable with high speed. My knees have a bit of pain so for now I ride with 170 mm cranks which helps in my case. I'm tall. And staying away from curb drops for now.
My goal is for some commuting to work 4 miles each way.
:)
