'They take a lot of the weight off my hands compared to drops'.
Camel _toe, it's a generally held view that one of the advantages of dropped bars is that they help you to spread your weight between the bars and the saddle. If you tried to do a long ride with a 'Dutch bike' position you would find that although you hands and wrists would be fine, your seat would not be.

I think i know the answer to this already but are wide MTB handlebars a completely stupid idea for this sort of ride?
