    I second this. I've been wondering the same and I'm glad I stumbled upon your post, Wahine! Can't wait to give this a try!

    I spent time time w one of the really good fitters in town a couple of days ago. He didn't have any bars in stock with a different sweep, but he did suggest one significant change which we did do. I've been moving my brake levers in bit by bit the last two seasons, and Josh put them inside my shifters so that the positions were flip flopped, so the brake levers went in further still. This significant changed how I (don't) have to reach around to shift, and feels sooo much better. I do not have stock brake levers; I have some TwentySix ones that really feel good set in close for one finger braking. Now, I haven't done an extended ride with this set, but I did spend all weekend on my bike at an instructor clinic and god knows I was doing a lot of brake dragging for speed control and what not as we were polishing up demos.
