Did find an old pair of bars from my 2005 Rocky Ridge. They were 640mm! How did we manage?!?!
I found some pics of me just before I fitted some *super wide* 760mm bars back in the late 00’s. I think my previous bars were a “wide back then” 685mm, 760s took some getting used to but I could sort of feel the benefit.
I seem to be a luddite these days, but if I could be bothered/was getting new bars anyway I might try something wider than the default 780s I run, but I never seem to have my hands off the edge of the grips on them or anything (my dad tried them, and fell off immediately after catching a tree. Luckily he bounces quite well for a 70yo).
Plus I don’t want to become like the nobheads that cut down some trees on one of the local trails just because they clearly couldn’t make the gap. Yes my bars suffered a few lost end caps there, but it’s the trail. Ride it or get better. 🙁
