[Closed] Bikes feeling different due to bar sizes?
Anybody else found that changing one bit on one bike spoils the rest.
I have Spank 777mm wide bars on my 5Spot which I love and I went out for a shakedown blast round MK on my Curtis today and my SS yesterday and they both feel awful. They're both fitted with 680mm wide risers and they feel like about 6" wide and just plain weird.
Should I persevere and learn to live with it or just change all the bikes to bars of a similar width?
What's your experience?
i like 27" bars on all bikes but 26" on the bmx
some people i know run the same width bars on all bikes. i have different ones on each and it's fine. however the wider the bars the shorter the stem so it kind of balances out.
reading that back it's well vague!!
680 isn'tthat wide (these days) and you are quite tall i seem to remember! 100mm difference is a lot.
How do you ride between trees with bars 777mm wide? our off piste is so tight they would hinder us

I'd just like to point out that 6'4" is normal height 😛
I think I'll change them all to the same
