I am in the middle of replacing my bar setup on my new (3 weeks) Trek 7.3 Disk, so that I can place on new grips and bar ends. The grips are find on may daily commute. But if I go on a ride more than 15-20 miles, I start to get uncomfortable and numb in the hands.

I have the new bar, Bontrager Race Flat 31.8, that are 40 mm longer than the stock bar I am replacing.
The grips I chose are Ergon GS3.

Hopefully, this will make my hands be able to last longer rides on this bike. Part of the problem was the hand uncomfortableness. Other is the upper mid back. The ~3 1/2" wider bar should help with that.

Other than this,I am totally loving the bike. I did just see there were bar ends from Bontrager. But the bare bar for this bar, does not look very comfortable.
