I looked here: http://www.bikeradar.com/fitness/articl ... ebars-2443 when trying to work out what type of bars I wanted for my carbon 456 build (long travel HT trail build). I measured shoulder to shoulder, added the maximum 6" as it says to and that gives me a width of around 600mm!
Most bars seem to be around the 700mm range though... is the advice wrong or am I a skinny shouldered mofo that should indeed be looking for a 600mm bar?

Guides are just that: whatever feels comfortable to you.
Many wider bars can be safely cut down anyway. You can't add to shorter ones ;-)0 -
Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.
Are riser bars generally measured end point to end point in a straight line or the length of the bar following along its curves?0 -
End to end usually.0
