Not only that but with ergo shifters there just aren't any bars out there for 26 or 26.4 that I like half as much as 31.8 wing shaped bars. That's just me though, I feel like switching to fake threadless has made the bike a lot more comfortable and solid feeling. It's probably not as bad if you're not using a 120mm stem and 44cm bars like I do though.
