Hi need some longer handle bars as mine are to short to brake with one finger, what do I look for in handlebars though as I have no clue what makes them good
Thanks richi

to fit what size stem and how wide?

Good is is they are comfiortable to ride with. What is your budget?
Check your stem too - is it 'normal' or 'oversized' (i.e. is the middle of your handlebars fatter).
If you don't want to buy a new stem, you need to make sure that you buy the right sized bar.
Also think about the shape of the bar - do you want a 'riser' or a flat bar (risers bend upwards either side if the stem.
If it is just the length you want to change - go for the same shape as you already have.
When you buy bars new, many are pretty big and are made to be cut down. Get a larger bar, and cut it down bit-by-bit until you are happy with the size.

Personally I am a fan of Easton products.
Running with a standard Monkey Bar on my trailbike - light enough and has survived many a crash. The EA30 version is £23 in ChainReaction at the moment.
