Re: Silly wide bars with sweep
I've a set of these Ritchey bars on the Fireline (WCS 10D Rizers):

First swept bats I;ve used and quite like them, possibly because it's a mild degree of sweep and they don't feel too much like a barrow I agree the Kyotes are a special step too far
*Only* 800mm if that is a deal breaker.

These look good if you can get them. Stooge motos are my non H bar goto

Soma Dream Riser is a nice wide swept riser bar - 10mm too short each end

Spendy but worth it for me.
Replaced Jones Loops with these and added the CC Bar ends plus a long 145 grip.
These are my goldilocks bars replacing Selcof Carbon too straight, Jones too swept.

Re: Silly wide bars with sweep
Can I ask, how tall are people to need bars 840mm wide. Surely, there's a correlation between physical size and bar width ... otherwise you look like Jesus crucified.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Silly wide bars with sweep
I agree - I'm 6'1 with ape like arms and run 780mm... Used to get the piss taken in about 2000 for running wide (probably about 720mm) bars, and now I see short folk riding about like the honey monster!Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:19 am Can I ask, how tall are people to need bars 840mm wide.

'tis all academic, I already said 'silly wide;
Also, its not just about physical size (though it is an effect).
Plenty of variation in what people prefer ref arm angles from shoulders and how that can affect neck position, wrist angles etc all changing how the hands contact the bars, reach / angles of said bars, reach and stack of frame, angle of saddle, and also generally trying different things
Besides, I asked if you know of any (which I take it you do not?).... not if want a go on them when I get them

Enough rise, not enough sweep

That’s what Surly make Moloko bars from isn’t it?

Re: Silly wide bars with sweep
Controltech extenders will nudge a few of the suggestions up to 800mm including Soma Dream bars which I find very comfortable and would recommend.
I have a set of the Millhouse bars sitting around that have only seen one ride. I should really decide if I'm going to make an effort with them or not. At the moment they're serving as probably the world's most expensive 'need patching' inner tube hanger...
