• @hippy here’s a shot of a 46cm cowbell with GRX, should give you an ideas, 12 degrees flare is subtle but welcome on the drop.

    (Front shot, photo straighten to show the subtle flare).

  • I'm pretty adaptable (hence not even noticing the 2-3cm difference in shifter height for err, I dunno how long) but I like the idea of starting with less insane hand positions.

    My current bars are 31.8 all the way around too so they're fat all over (like their owner) which makes the tape fit under the hoods better and probably gives better load spread when riding behind the hoods, which I often do.

  • The salsa handlebar have a generous 31.8 section for stuff like aerobatic, but doesn’t sound like it’s as generous as your existing bar.
