New from Haute Bikes in Richmond, Virginia, is the Twisted T-Bar Mini, a smaller version of the spacer-mounted support meant to work as a standoff for small bags. For more on this tiny T-bar, check out the details below…

The Twisted T-Bar Mini is a smaller iteration of Haute Bikes’ Twisted T-Bar, a bag support that works as a standoff for front-mounted bags. The Mini is 1.75″/45mm shorter than the original T-Bar and is intended for smaller bags and bikes where clearance at the headtube is a major issue. Per Wilson of Haute Bikes, “Taking the place of a 1/2″ tall spacer directly underneath the stem on any 1-1/8″ steerer, it supports your handlebar bag, providing extra strength and rigidity to avoid flop when riding rough trail with all the goodies in your bag. The T-Bar saves your bag and frame from tears and paint scuffs, and relieves pressure on the brake/shift cables that can make any bag setup a drag.”
