Repost of one of our most popular episodes...Did you know there are at least 7 distinct sizing variables that you should be considering when choosing your drop handlebars?This is a really packed episode where the team discuss all aspects of handlebars... including the biomechanical considerations of drop bars vs flat bars, how our shoulder stability can affect the effectiveness of our pedalling, why every bike fitter has an ever growing pile of Bontrager / Trek handlebars in the corner of their studio... And why it's important to look beyond the 3 basic dimensions of handlebar width, drop and reach... Using drop handlebars as a start point, we explore gravel and mountain bike options as well some more exotic choices such as Jones bars.And Matt raises a hand to normalise the drop bar riser handlebar... could this be a thing?⁠Jones Bars 45 degrees sweep⁠⁠Redshift Topshelf riser bars⁠⁠Profile Design Gravel bars⁠⁠Walmer bars⁠If you have any further questions for us, join the conversation at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cyclingdemystified/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you 'bike-fit curious'?
