How wide of a bar do you guys and gals run...any major reasoning in why one would run a certain width?

44s, exactly the same as on my road bike.
I actually run a relatively narrow bar on my mtn bike too, guess I just can't shake my roadie roots.

46cm bell laps. I am not sure they are the greatest though. I think I will try a trad bend next season.
I have some Bell Lap Moto Ace in 31.8, but they are either 44 or 42 that I would sell on the cheap if you are interested.

I run "44cm" FSA shallow drops with a traditional bend but if you measure them c-c they're basically 42cm wide. Next season I want bars that really are 44cm wide, but unfortunately FSA doesn't make that model in a "46cm" version so I'll be on the hunt again.

44 road 46 cross. I like the leverage but I also like the extra length for cross levers (bar top brake levers).
