My mate pointed out this Curve bar and how it might make riding rougher stuff a bit easier and then I thought "ooh I could use the wide bar I took of the grrl's Sequioa". Her bike had wider bars on it than all mine!
I think hers were 44cm at the top and flared out to maybe 46 or 50cm at the tail end of the drops. Pain in the butt since it lived in the bedroom and made parking annoying.

If the drops are at good height for using them on the rougher stuff they might be great, so why not try.
I do like having the hoods as narrow as they are now though, for the smooth gravel I usually ride, so not sure about the wider ones for most of the time, but they might be great for some events/rides. Winter would be a good time to test, with the snow and all.

Basic 42 ish. It's as good as it is on paved roads too, if the gravel is fairly smooth and you're going fast. But if there's deep mud, roots and ruts, it would be easier to turn with a wider shorter position. I'm thinking of trying something wider for when the going gets more mtb. Venturemax or Cowchipper or something.
