babse Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 personal preference!? i have very narrow shoulders and the 580mm bars are comfy and sufficient for me
rock Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 handlebar width has nothing to do with wheel size......whats comfortable for you? a lot of it is fashion, a few years ago it 560mm flat bars and bar ends, then it was 685mm 2" riders, now its 710mm plus flat bars.......
Ryanpmb Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 700mm. But as mentioned, it's a personal preference. Get a bike fit.
Vinnydabutcher Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I gotst me some 740mm on the Salsa. Even the 680mm on the 29er feels too narrow for me. Then again - Im not the norm.
Cruz Addict Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 get one of these...http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=72&products_id=532 Bjorn@1 1
LuckyLuke Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Started of with 600mm flat bar. next was answer pro taper flat 660mm, changed to Truvativ T40 riser 720mm and seems that the wider bar is the better more comfortable bar for me anyway, just changed my stem from 6 degree to -17 degree to get same height as the flat bars and 10mm shorter for the backsweep.
