There is a slight difference in hand movement, which when combined with my arthritis and the problem I have with road bars equals PAIN.The pain is really more from the road bars themselves more than anything. Just the simple act of loosely grasping a road bar on a trainer and sitting there causes significant pain - this is the reason for my LHT conversion that I mentioned under another thread related to my LHT fitting. To make a long story short I am switching from road bars to riser bars with trigger shifters.
