Subject: RE: What kind of bars are these (with finger sculptures)?Looking for something with a short reach/shallow, for my height challenged self. Also, I need a good short carbon stem, with a decent rise, in a 60mm-80mm length. 1 1/8 steerer tube, 31.6 bars.
I'm trying to find a way to put less weight on my hands, as they are going numb with the current setup. I think if I go to a *short* carbon stem/ short reach bars, this may be a good start. Carbon? I just want the bling, no real reason for that. I can be a weight weenie with aluminum as well, especially if I shop around.
Let me make sure this is correct: If I move the bars back, and ride shallow, I put less weight on my hands. If I ride steeper, I actually put more weight on my hands. I want to ride shallow so I recruit my glutes and hammies to help out, as opposed to mainly my quads when riding steep. |
