Have had some Mary bars on my Disk trucker for a few months now, and am finding I get sore elbows. I have worked out that it is due to the increased sweep. Obvious move would be to go back to fleegles, as I am running mtb brakes and shifter. My fleegles were brilliant, but I gave them away to spread the good word, so would have to buy some more. Before I do, perhaps I should consider drops? Though this would require more money for avidroad brakes, brake levers, new shifters etc etc. Are down tube shifters annoying for someone used to proper bar mounted indexed shifters? I don’t really want to spend a small fortune on sti!
Any other alternatives to consider?
