Looking for a more ergonomic handlebar

whitestar1

Hi all looking for a more comfortable handlebar. Something more straighter than the one I have that came with the bike. Current one is just too curved for my liking. Any suggestions?

think you'll need to post a pic so we can see the issue?

This one's straighter than yours.

Deda piega are the best bars I have owned, straight top and a nice hold for when you are on the drops... they have a 26 mm clamp, so you might have to get a Deda Logo stem too... 30 quid for the pair

I'm guessing Deda "Big" Piega are the oversized version? I had some on my bike when I bought it butI switched them out for some carbon bars and flogged them on on eBay. I presume they are still available though?

Have Deda Neutrons on my commuter, they are nice bars.

Sorry about the brief information in the OP. What I an looking for is something more ergonomic as my fingers don't take too well to the sharp curve in my current BTWIN Sport (I think) handlebar. Opinions on something ergonomic but not heavy and most certainly under £50!

Been looking at this over the weekend. I need to actually see one and get to hold it to figure if its drop bars are straight enough. opps that word again - more flat handlebars coming...

best thing for getting feel is to go to your LBS and have a feel of the road bikes, if you explain what you're looking for they almost certainly have some bikes on display with various shape and manufacturer bars.

In looking at the picture you posted I've noticed that the ends of the bars are not as long as some. Although it would appear that the bars were designed so that most drop riding would be done on the straight sloped section(if you get my meaning) and not on the straight bar ends. I've got a pair that looks pretty similar and the sloping section works just fine. It's as comfortable as it gets, within the confines of handlebar comfort. Sort of like saddle comfort.

I used to have bars like those E50s and hated them. The straight section was never at the right angle. I now use Bontrager VR which have the curve tightening up as it nears the levers. I can now reach the brakes much better on the drops and descending on them is a lot easier. Check out 'compact' bars.

My best bike has 3T ergonova bars on it. They are ace, nice flattened tops and shallow drop. For alu bars they weren't the cheapest at 70 quid or thereabouts but I feel it wad money well spent.
