But anyhow, I didn't really mean no to flared bars in general. Just in the specific case of very rarely riding in the drops.
If you don't ride in the drops, whether or not the drops are flared will make little difference to you.
But I'm using 40cm road bars so maybe I'm just missing out
I went from 38cm road bars to 42cm (at the tops) flared bars and I honestly haven't noticed much of a difference. Probably mostly down to rarely using the drops.
