[#1396727]

I am after a new bar 680mm or wider.

Ideally i would like carbon.

My current bar is a 20mm rise, am i right in thinking a flat bar run 20mm higher would put my hands in the same position?

Who does an ALUMINIUM 680mm wide flat bar or a 680mm carbon riser with no more than 20mm rise?

Can all carbon bars be used with lock on grips?

Am i correct about a flat bar that is 20mm higher up (via stem rise or steerer length) will give the same hand position as a 20mm rise riser bar lower down the steerer or a lower rise stem?
