Anyone tried both? Got Midge's and they are ok but a touch short at the ends. Like the short reach though. Interested in comments from others.

Got both and mountain bars seem a bit bigger in every respect ... drop ends are certainly longer but they do seem to have a touch more drop and perhaps a little less flare. I'd struggle to say which I prefer though.

As per Stuart, the mountain bars are deeper and have a slight ergo bend to them. I prefer the Midges for off road riding, with the caveat I have relatively small hands and don't find the short ends a significant problem, others do. The forthcoming Luxy bar from Ragley should be the ideal off-road bar once it is available.
