• Perforated bar tape on the way. Two sets. One black and one pink.

    We shall see.

    I have also been looking at those Nitto bars. You know, just for information.

    Can people who know about such things comment on the difference between the 106 and the 186 (anatomic) shapes?

  • The ramps of both are pretty much horizontal, so you'll have a near seamless transition between the bar and the lever.

    The obvious difference is between the hooks: if you spend a lot of time riding in that position, then ergo bend bars will likely be more comfortable, as the wrist is straighter. But you may find that the drops are too short for a secure grip, so you lose that position.
