Hey,

Anyone knows if the sizing of these really matters for comfort?? From what i know, theyre available in 3 sizes, 38cm, 40cm, 42cm.. which are really small differences in my opinion.. Anyone have any experience with these?? and how do you measure your ideal size??

Thanks!

Bars are measured center to center of the forward facing parts.
Those 2cm steps (nearly an inch) do matter, more so if you're at one end of the typical sizing spectrum.
The usual sizing rule is to size bars to be the width of your shoulders.
