• Depends what you ride and how you ride though. My partners bike feels ridic to me when we swapped bikes during El Piri. I ended up putting 42cm gravel bars on the Tripster and they were much nicer for rougher stuff. I still have 42cm on the Tarmac so I think I'm still within normal ranges and not going into "drop bar MTB" territory.

  • Yeah for sure, I more mean I made a silly choice only going 2cm wider. Sort of a halfway house that doesn't benefit either use case. Nice bars though, particularly like the drops as they're quite long (not sure if that's the right term) so offer lots of positions and it feels very secure descending off road in them.

  • Ah, I get you.

    I mean, everyone just adapts to whatever they have anyway and if it's gnarly enough that bar width matters you're probably walking anyway.
