How do you like your trekking bars? Does the fact that you are now more upright bother you a bit? I was trying to find bars that wouldn't change the position - I thought that should be easy to find - just have a shallower angle to the curve so that the flat end stays where it currently is - but every trekking bar I have seen (and there arent many) forces the rider into a more upright position for brakes and shifters.
