Are OS bars the same diameter from end to end or just OS in the clamp area? Thanks!

Ahh...guess I'll just stick w/ double wrapping my bars to make them feel thicker.

You can get one of those gel-padding bar wrap kits, that way they'll feel thicker and offer some extra shock absorption.

Don't worry - they say size doesn't matter...

The gel stuff works well if you have bigger hands. Some people don't like it though.
