Scott, If you are on about on your BMW they are track drops though so not a fair comparison.
I call bullshit on this narrow bars climbing thing. You (I mean this as a general non personal "you" way) may be able to climb with a narrow super narrow bar but the same person in the same condition on the same bike, on the same (proper) hill will be climbing better on a more normal width bar (38 - 45 cm) than on some really narrow bar. When comparisons are made you need to do like with like otherwise it's pointless.
EDIT I don't care if someone runs narrow bars just like everything else in life it's a compromise and to deny that there is any compromise to be made is bollocks.
