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 ?

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...

Deda 35 on the other hand ....is keeeewweeeeeellll... i so want one if it wasn't for the price...and only and i think only particularly the carbon ones work very well... they can't shape the aluminum ones to look all the way like the carbon ones... and you can hide cables as well...

the bar itself is very comfortable especially on the bar top because of the fat profile... but it gives problem with bar tape wrap as the tapes are usually not long enough.. deda reportedly has a special version of their tape for the OS35...

but i also dun fancy the RHM shape too much...so, it's a love hate relationship...

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...

out of saddle + hands in the drops = sprinting kaw2

like when u wanna sprint away from vinann?

i prefer compact shape. short reach (75 or less), shallow drop (128 or less)

the PRO compact i have is 70 reach, 123 or 125 drop. really compact. bontrager's even more compact

no, not yet but used to get numb before I got gloves. Now with gloves the numbness has reduced considerably.
