Thanks a lot for this @PhilDAS. I would have thought that the flat section would be longer on a longer handlebar a the hoods would be attached a bit further away.

It is the only flat top bar that Planet X offer on the bike.
-
Going to take the plunge I think. Easy enough to get a shorter stem if needed.
-
Thanks so much for checking! So, reach is measures from the middle of the top tube to the center of the end of the drop, as per the image here. If you could check that you would be a start!!!
Thanks a lot.

DOes the extra 60MM of reach mean that the hoods will be 60MM further forward, or does it not quite work like that?

PS I have asked PX but the guy I was speaking to wasn't in the warehouse due to Covid so couldn't check. I am very keen to get flat handlebars, but the reach on the ones they offer with the bke I want seem to have a massive reach listed on the web page, that I just can't believe is true.

@onyerbike now worries, thanks a lot! Did they turn out to have internal cable routing btw?
-
Thanks a lot @onyerbike. Do you know if the reach is actually 145MM though, as I might need to go more down on the stem if that is the case?

Hi there,
I am thinking about getting the Selcof jack Woodheads handlebars on my bike and saw you had purhcased them in the past. Just wondering what you thought? I notice that at the following link, it lists the reach as 145MM!! Is that really right!? If possible, would you be able to measure the reach for me. If this is true, I will need to get a shorter stem I think but I assume this is a typo. I havent usually seen a reach of longer than 85MM.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The standard overall reach on my current bike is a bit short and I am looking to get a bit more aero. Having these would increase my reach by 4cm, which if too much I can raise the handlbars a bit.
