What do you think, too much bend?

Yeah, I think so too. I thought I might like that much bend, because it's reminiscent of my Mary bars. Well only remotely, Mary bars are turned back a head turning 40°. I like the On Ones because they're nice and comfy to hold on to. Let's say they're ergonomically hunky dory. The deal is, they're stiffy Aluminum. Rock solid, as it were.

I've been suffering more than I should of late out on the trail. The longer and faster I ride, the more of a pounding my hands, wrists and forearms take. Or maybe I'm just getting older. Whichever it is, new bars will surely help.

This much bend won't work though. We're going to back it down to around 6° and see what that looks like. If it works out the way I think it will, I'm going to need about ten more millimeters worth of stem.
