What width bars do most people ride? Mine are pretty wide and thinking of cutting them down a bit. Cheers :daumenhoch:

Don't overthink it too much.

Just look down at your hands and their natural position on the grips. If you have some bar hanging out of the ends - lop it off!

I usually cut my bars down by a small amount - the width of a roll of insulating tape to be precise, my cutting guide...

i end up hanging onto the flange part of my non l;ever side on my 29 s . 28 s are sufficient for most average size folk i think . rise is more important (min 9 ")and a stubby top load stem.

Just got these Superstar sweet sweep bars 8.3" and 28.5 wide. I may just keep them as they are for now, I felt the chrome bars were too wide and too high? I assume they must be 9"
