Was looking at some handlebars and noticed so many variants. Some are ergonomic, some are oversized etc etc. Does it really improve ride quality/comfort especially when doing long distance riding ?

Some are ergonomic, some are oversized etc etc. Does it really improve ride quality/comfort especially when doing long distance riding ? all handlebars now is oversized leh... 31.8mm... standard already...the ergonomic, anatomic, shallow, compact drops are all very self preferential... the major effect you can see is the reach and drop measurements... but then there is also a factor how how you hold the drops.... some drops you feel more comfortable holding, the others.. .not so... so it is something you need to try it out... and especially if you are already running a long stem... you need to look at how the curves affect your shifter reach....something you can't see until it goes onto your bike... the answer is yes and no in terms of comfort and ride quality... no if you get the wrong one...yes, if you do... bars also can be too stiff and stuff... so, that might make a play in comfort... but there is many ways to cure that... like double bar tape wrap or the fizik bar gels and stuff like that... |

no lar.. the shape is compact.. but somehow i can't grab the bottom of the drop properly without my wrist hitting the top...
i think it is an issue with the end of the bars extended not long enough... if it is longer, i think it solves the problem... i meant when out of saddle lar...sitting in saddle should be no problem... This post has been edited by butthead: May 30 2013, 11:40 AM |
