i am after some short reach bars, and light weight as well.

I currently have some fsa wing bars, they have a flat section at the top i quite like these, but could be as all ive ever ridden. so would tink about some without flat section

these have a 90mm reach which i find a little too far have been trying to find some shorter reach bars.

what do please suggest.

i know 3t ergonova bars are 77mm reach but feel this might be too short.

Also feel maybe this is a good time to get something a little lighter as well.
dont want to spend stupid money though.

so over to you guys for advise.

  • why don't you get combination of bars + stem... plenty of stems of all sizes...

    I tried a short stem but that wasn't right. It felt all wrong.
    When I had my bike fit the bloke said a 100mm stem was right but I might like a short reach set of bars as I tend to move my hand just back off the hoods slightly when riding.

    So a short reach would stop this.

    Tried raising your current bars a little higher?
