I want some thing like Midges but wider in the tops. Not fussed either way about the amount of outward bend. Normnal type drops would do. The midges are great and the drops are in the right place but the tops are a bit narrow for what I want. Whats out there? Woodchippers, ?
Oh yeah and not 31.8's. In fact mtb size really not road but thats not vital.

Get some then?

I can measure the tops of my woodchppers if you like (which are 26.0 I think, they're in a 25.4 stem 😀 )

42cm between the inside of ergos (46cm bars IIRC)

The top bend is very tight. You're gonna get the wides top section on normal bars though.

Salsa Bell laps, Not as flared as woodchippers etc, but a nice wide bar with some flare. I have a set of 46cm on my CX bike and they are great. I have them in 26.0, but i dont think they do 25.4.

But normal bars are not wide enough for what I want.( that i have found anyway) Hence the midge alternatives.
Bell laps worth a look then. Ta

I have some 46 OS Bell laps I might sell (email in profile if interested)

The width at the lever-mount is the same as the woodchippers, but the top is wider albeit the curve is not as tight.
