Building up the Scandal at the moment and was just trying to work out what bars to go for. Just trying to work out the basic physics. The wheel is bigger so therefore slower to respond therefore smaller bars will improve this?????? Is this correct?????

Wide apparently but not as wide as possible or you'll get stuck.

Whatever your arms and shoulders feel comfortable with. Don't try to work out how it rides before you've ridden it.

Same size as you'd use on any other bike.

Bar size has **** all to do with wheel diameter.

Go wide in alloy and if too wide, lop a bit off until it feels right. When it's finally right, if you want a carbon bar, try to buy one at that width.
