Title: Precision Shock & Vibe Handlebar Clamp
Post by: Piney0 on November 14, 2015, 07:42:05 PM

Has anyone used these?  Looking for input on how well they work, and how you like them.    
Not sure if i want to try these or the flexx bars.  from what I understand, you can't use both.

I have the precision clamp now and have had flex in the past. I prefer the flex bars

Correct you can't use both. I put the precision bar clamps on my sons Apex. The apex vibrates ten times more than a R. The clamps reduced the vibration tremendously.

i have them but don't have enough riding time on them to make an honest opinion.  I went with these over the flex bars because of price and I like really high handlebars.  They fit just fine and seem easy enough to adjust.

Thanks for the input.
I haven't used either yet, still using a stock steering stem also, so anything would help right now  lol.  I have my eyes on a used +1 stem for another build I'm starting and trying to decide which route I want to go.

I'm still undecided, I think I'll just have to try one out and see if I like it or not.  Decisions decisions.  
Thanks guys.

I like the Precision clamps on a bike more than a quad. You lean with a bike when maneuvering for the most part, so the up/down nature of the precision seems like it would be better. But on a quad you spend a lot of time hanging off the side, with your wrists/arms at pretty extreme angles. The Flexx bars bend down to relieve the stress when leaning from side to side, unlike the Precision.
