So, my MTB riser bars are 740mm with a 9 degree backsweep and a 5 degree upsweep. Very standard these days but not at all comfy for me.
My wrists/palms are rotated outwards when I’m climbing so the middle outside of my palm is pushing into the bars. It’s bloody painful after a few hours. No issue going downhill because its over too fast!
Anybody got any less backswept bars? I’m looking for either flat or 3 degree backsweep risers with ideally less than 3 degree upsweep also. I’ve scoured the interweb and not got an ideal solution, preferably don’t want to spend over £50 and don’t want narrower bars.
As for alternatives, yes I’ve tried a lower stem and I have tried rotating the bars in the stem a number of different angles so a new bar is my choice!
Any help would be appreciated.
