To change Handlebar/stem combo or not
Currently have fitted Deda 215 bar (anatomic) & Deda Zero stem with Ultegra 9s STI’s.
Was thinking of going to oversize with Deda Newton bar or the new Zero 100 handlebar & Deda Zero 100 stem in their rather attractive ‘dark metal polish’.
So the questions are:
As I don’t have any problems with the shape of the 215’s with 9s STI’s, would the Zero bar offer anything new to the mix?
Deda seem to make lots of bars these days with different shapes, should I be looking at some other models or even a different make?
Any perceived benefit going oversize?
Or don’t even bother & save my money for something else

I'm not familiar with the deda range.
But going oversize is good, particularly for larger riders and (although it doesn't apply) fixed/ss biked. They are generally (although it does vary from combo to combo) stiffer, which feels nice when out of the saddle and laying down some hammer, but the negative flip-side is that they are less forgiving so transmit more buzz (again depending on the individual setup)0
