I genuinely want to try bar that wide after riding with a 46cm handlebar.
Maybe the Funn G-Wide in 48cm or even 50cm might be a good upgrade, reach quite long tho, not sure how much shorter I can run my stem as.

Get your hands wide enough apart, you can mount the bars behind the steerer, surely?

Always the same issue I have. I like wider bars, but then the reach needs to come in. I used to ride a mates Domane which was way too big for me, with 46cm bars and it was fucking fun!

Why not some dirt-drops? On One Midge has reach of 60mm, Salsa Woodchipper has 50-something mm, as far as I can tell. Maybe not quite as wide but reach is better.

It is, especially with my new superwide Ti barz for that extra leverage on the downhill sections
