PSA:
you don't need 920mm bars on your medium frame mountain bike that you take for a loop around town on saturdays if the weather's nice.
You look like batman flying in to save the day, absolutely ridiculous.

who cares it's a better workout.
Oh, and 780 is the standard wide bar size.
695/700 is comfy too.

Narrow flat bars are the worst of both worlds - no stability and no aero.

You don't either need to ride a frame two sizes under and slam your stem because 'it's what the pros do' if you lack the flexibility and end up riding like a moron with outstretched arms.

cagers and race-ists seethe behind my 30" almost as wide as the bike lane bars as I slow my roll. I will upgrade to 31" bars when the time is right

I also have a bike with 40cm drops and that thing goes through the tightest of gaps but being tight all the time is rough on my aging body, so this bike is purposefully exxxtra wide

Bars should match shoulder width; I'm comfy about 720/740. Riding 740 rn.
Here's how I check it:
Straighten up your shoulders;
Put your arms downs naturally;
Lift your lower arms up naturally;
Check total hand to hand width, add an extra couple cm (because your hands won't rest right at the very end of the bar);
That's the natural way your arms flex and the bar width you should get.

If you go narrow and aero, you need to go all the way.
360mm drops are my road handlebar of choice. Never had a problem with stability. No shoulder or elbow pain either, both used to be a problem with 420mm drops.
760mm bars on my mountain bike though

The tops are the same as the drops on my bars, I simply meant the style of handlebars.

ah, another handlebar width thread reminding me how many opinionated manlets and child sized adults there are out in the cycling world. as i used to say about saddles, there is an ass for every seat. same for handlebars in a broader sense. stop being so one sided and absolute with your opinions.
