Anthem W almost right-Wide bars.

yes, bar ends and flat bars are passe`.

If you aren't used to wide bars, suggested is to try them for a month, and then cut them down only 1/2" at a time. My bikes vary from 23" to 24.5" and I am a small female who likes technical trails. Wider bars will be more stable.

Gee, I stop riding in the dirt for 4 years and I come back to a paradigm shift. At least I can still get cleats for my Time Atacs (the original yellow/black plastic pedals). And some tires still have tubes!

I see that I have a little over 1 inch on each side that I can slide the controls in, and I do have a pipe cutter... Gotta look at those bars at chainlove.com too.

Thanks Becky and Irulan! I feel like I've been sleeping under a tree for a few years.
