I've had my trekking bars for around a month now, and I'm not 100% sure I like them. My buddy has an adjustable stem he's going to lend me and see if maybe they're just in a bad position and that's making me stretch oddly, since i have a ridiculously large bike (for my ridiculously large me). Mostly what I don't like is that I can't seem to hop up on curbs the way I used to... roll up slow, wheelie the front up, then bunny hop the back up just before it hits. I used to do it twice a day on my commute (before I could handle the hill) and now I fall every time I try it. And I feel a little stretched... I have about 2 more positions to try, not counting the adjustment on the stem, and then I guess I'm going back to flat bars... or maybe bullhorns or inverted drops...
