Though I'm guessing there's a lot of personal preference here, I thought I'd ask if there were any rules that should be followed before I started messing around with my new bars. My existing bars are 24" wide. My new ones are 32" wide MTN bike riser bars. I'm reasonably certain I'll be cutting them down (narrower) but how much I don't know. They're going on a Gary Fisher Montare I use for general town riding/commuting/exercise. Could possibly do a little bit of single track riding and the idea of touring intrigues me.

Guidelines? Thoughts?
