Looking for Widest Road Bars and highest QFactor Pedals

[Paul Ruinaard]

Hi

 

Being rather more clydesdale that colt,  I have realized that i need to get the widest road cycling bars I can lay mu hands on. I just sold one of my bikes which was a CX bike that had 460 mm bars on and went back to my road bike which has normal width on. Immediately I can feel the difference.

 

I was running Fizik Cyrano bars - anyone know who stocks this locally.

 

Same for the pedals. What is the road pedal with the longest spindle or widest set. I started to put shims on the inside of my pedal shafts and this is really helping but I need more. Currently running Time RXS pedals but if I can find some with extra long spindles I am willing to change. Someone once mentioned Speedplay.

 

Any suggestions?

Chain Reaction would probably be your best bet for bars. Them or on one / planet x for their cross bars. 

 

As for longer spindles - no idea.

Here's the selection of 460mm & one 470mm bars on CRC

QFactor is generally changed by changing the crank. What type of BB do you have?

Its a Campag Record 10 Speed in A Colnago C 40 frame.

 

How do you get wider crank sets? I was thinking this must be the case but I am interested in how you order wider cranks or get wider BB's?
