    Post your Soma Noah's Arc or similiar curved flat bars

    Wondering about Soma Noahs Arc bars or similar style curved flat bars. Do you run them with a stem with some rise? Something shorter or longer? Not sure how to set up.

    The purpose of curved or heavily swept bars is to achieve a more natural hand position. So, set them up with comfort in mind to what feels best to you.
