Yeah I know, the width is great on the Nittos. The Fuji bars were just too wide for me.
The drop must be deeper on the Nittos, I haven't actually sized them up next to each other but riding on the drops on the Fuji bars let me see the road ahead but on the Nittos I feel like I'm craning my neck to look ahead.
Honestly I have no idea what I 'should' be riding like because I don't have any sort of road riding background. It's only since about April that I started to really enjoy riding further distance where comfort is more important.
Lots of people have said the 'best' riding position over longer periods is on the hoods but neither the Fuji or Nitto bars are comfortable at all on the hoods since there aren't actually any hoods there.
I feel like a complete noob at the physical act of riding a road bike.
