If I want to upgrade to lighter handelbars which also feature "compact" geometry are FSA K Wing or similar any good?

    I changed the bars on my bike from the standard "ergo" bars supplied to compacts (I just couldn't get on with the ergos at all). As soon as I put the compacts on (FSA Omega compact) it was a total revelation - everything just "fell to hand".

    Worked for me. :D

    I use the FSA K Wing compacts. Excellent bar, perfect for me, anyway...
    Light, comfortable, just right, wherever I put my hands.
    Highly recommend them. :wink::wink:

    Deda Newton compact bars for me. Big increase in comfort over the old ITM's I had.

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.
  • THANKS FORV THE ADVICE!
  • Props for the FSA compact bars. I have a set and love them. Don't like the wing bars though, I would try both out. I found the flat tops very uncomfortable. Its personal I suppose.
