Re: [RBW] Dropbar width

[Steven Sweedler]

I’ve shrunk to just less than 6’1” and use 48 Noodles on my bikes. When
Bill Farrell brought out the Fit Kit, I was measured and moved from 40’s to
44, I increased my stem extension from 105 to 130. I moved to 46 bars when
Grant got them and then 48s when they came out. I still like long stem
extensions. Steve

Re: [RBW] Dropbar width

5'10", Asian build, best frame size 60 X 56-57 c-c. I like 38 cm bars with
long reach and moderate drop on paved road bikes, 42 ditto on dirt road
bikes.
As always, YMWV.

[RBW] Dropbar width

[Jeremy Till]

I'm 6'3", ~95cm PBH IIRC, and use 46cm Nitto M151's on my 64cm Rambouillet. The 
M151's are pretty square (no flare to the drops) so the hoods are probably 
close to 46cm apart. This is perfect for a road bike fit. If I were setting up 
a drop bar off road bike I may consider something wider and/or more flared, but 
I think I would also make the stem reach shorter and higher. I find that wider 
bars tend to pull my torso forward since my arms more angled and thus 
effectively shorter.

[RBW] Dropbar width

[Chris Balaschak]

I am wondering the consensus on handlebar width for a midsized human (PBH 
85).

I have been riding 400m Nitto B132s, but feel they are much too narrow at 
the brake hoods (maybe 370mm?). However, I appreciate the swoop and dip and 
drop - the multiple hand positions. I would like a drop bar with at least 
420m at the hoods, and plenty of reach (there are some wider bars out 
there, but have very shallow reach<80). What are you riding that is 
comfortable, wide, multi-positional?

My main consideration right now, are these, which are kind of wacko-wide.
