Running 38cm bars thanks to James. Way more comfortable than the 42s I was on before. It’s interesting how many snide comments I’ve gotten about them being too narrow. Works wonders during crits as well sneaking in spots. I run my levers inward slightly as it helps me have a flatter forearm for aero gains. Dan Bigham is probably the best example of what a perfectly aggressive aero fit looks like. I’m sure you guys are familiar with him!

Personally, I like the turned in hoods as they give you a better point of rest for your forearms (on the straight top section instead of the foward curve) if you want to have them parallel to the floor in an aero position. I agree however that it's a matter of personal preference and probably a lot of it comes down to aesthetics.

Is it worth having a flare on the bars-what is James’s opinion?? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both of you.

1) Any modest change is likely to feel "better," at least for a bit, because different relieves the set-in familiarity, and the placebo effect is powerful; 2) An old racer/pro mechanic friend who never wore gloves, swore padding etc. wasn't needed if position was correct. He checked wrists for straight, relaxed alignment free from bends in any direction, and weight should be balanced so little pressure was placed on hands the majority of a ride.

What are the effects of running too narrow of a handlebar? I always hadd 44cm bars and then suddenly everyone is putting 42cm bars on bikes in my size (54cm frame). I could never get on with them. I can get different measurements depending on exactly where I measure my shoulder width. As I don't have access to my bare skeleton, any advice on how to measure this distance on a living human might be helpful.. Alternatively, I'll have my relatives measure mine after I decompose and transmit the data via seance (sp?).

Unfortunately I have screws in my shoulder from breaking it. The bike comes with flared handlebars, which seem to wide and the brakes, gears seem to be in an uncomfortable position/angle. I've been trying to find someone, to measure, fit me and advice, like James, around the Jarrow Newcastle area. Unfortunately I can't seem to locate anyone.

Hi guys need your suggestions... I feel numb hands after a ride of 50 kms. It's a straight handlebar but it is aggressively positioned. Will raising the height of the bar solve my issue?

@matthewkramer8613
@matthewkramer8613 7 місяців тому
I'm not a fitter but did have this issue also. It's not easy to answer because too much bar pressure can be caused by several different reasons. Generally its best to work from saddle height to saddle fore aft, then, bar position. Bar height may need a different stem and maybe spacers. Bar pressure can be caused by saddle position fore aft. Being too far forward or too far back. Also if you are using clipless paddles, cleat position may need to be moved back to bring you more forward on the bike. This whole fitting puzzle would be best handled by a fitter though, making sure your position is correct and plenty of parts on hand.

Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years.

@yonglingng5640
@yonglingng5640 2 роки тому
A little wider would be more comfortable, but if you're not uncomfortable with 42 and your bike fitter approves of it, you can go ahead. As a reference, my shoulders are 390 mm wide and I currently ride with 400 mm handlebars. My bike fitter tested 380 mm on me and saw that my shoulders squeeze inwards slightly, which isn't ideal in his point of view. (I personally feel more comfortable with 400 mm before the fit)

James is right when talking about handlebar width for roadbikes.. but he clearly hasn't any experience with Gravelbikes...
