Short bars... yes or no

bars less than shoulder width make you ride like a hunched up ret.

anyone on here fighting for narrow bar corner actually have any knowledge of bike fitting?
as in use any advanced fitting tools/ methods?

the traffic excuse is tiring.

After some 29 yrs of cycling...after racing both mountain bike and cyclocross...riding road bikes, bmx, and every kind of bike inbetween...having been fitted properly for the custom built mtb's i used to race on....i still ride one size smaller than was recommended....for the simple reason that that is what feels best for me.
You can go to all the bike fits you want but it doesn't mean that the bike you're body is supposed to ride is the bike your body will be happiest on.
The same goes for saddles, bars, grips and any contact point....it's about what feels most comfortable to you, regardless of the supposed 'rules'.
I choose to use narrow bars for my most used bike because that is what feels best for me and allows me to ride in the way i want to ride....there isn't a person on this planet that can tell me after all these years what works best for me except ME.
Seeya!
