• Risers the same width as my shoulders

    risers all the way altho i want some drops atm

    risers the same width as shoulders.

    yeah you missed that one i had to pick smaller than shoulders

    same here, i mean '+1'.

    Risers slightly narrower than shoulders. This is partly because the bike looks more 'street' with them and partly because it feels nippier, more responsive. I've switched to and from slightly chopped profile airwing db's, my shoulder width-ish drop bars with aero levers, and the chopped down MTB riser bars over the last year or so. The drop bars are the most comfortable, especially the hoods, shit, it just feels soooooooo nice. But they make the steering feel heavy and sluggish, and it's sometimes harder to lock the bike up against railings. The profile airwing bars are OK, the bullhorns are good for getting up hills and just having a different hand position for a change, but they look shit, and they're not very comfy. I have quite hard grip tape on them, which doesn't help. Finally the risers, very limited hand position, makes me wish I had drops with hoods, but they feel the best to steer with.

    bloody hipsters
