I was in my LBS the other day looking at some Profile bars, I can't remember which ones but they were the "S" bend kind. I took them off the shelf and held them how you would on the bike and I liked them. After some poking around online however I found these:
Deda Parabolica Uno
And here's the "S" bend version:
Deda Parabolica Due
While the "S" bend ones were ok, I'm wondering what they would feel like on really long rides, holding my wrists in that "turned down" position to make my thumbs even with my forearm. It looks like the non-S-bend ones my hands would be in a more natural/neutral position just holding the bars, I wouldn't have to bend my wrists. Both are the same price at ProBikeKit and are well within my budget.
Can anyone comment either way on S-bend versus non-S-bend? Which did you like better for long (say >4 hour) rides?
