What is it with these wide bars....

Who said anything about 20cm - just measured against one riding buddy who happens to be in the office and there is 9cm difference which is less than the difference between our bars.

I would [guess] 99% of people run between 600 and 800mm.

I just remarked that I hadn't thought there would be that much of a real world difference in shoulder width.

I was wondering why there's such a range of bar widths, when I guessed there wasn't that much difference in shoulder widths.
Then I explained that I was guessing, as I hadn't actually measured.

I've got 800's on my downhill bike. They feel spot on TBH. All personal preference.

Spent a weekend in North Wales with the 760's and they are here to stay - Llandegla, CyD and Machynlleth and didnt hit any trees:)
