I did the fitting and just had the 38cm installed
Spent $300 on bars and $90 on install
Not ready yet to scrap that to go with 40cm to compare
On fit bike for short while it takes to do fitting and not moving felt good; but out on road think I am too narrow
Wondering what to look for as comparison points
Feel more in control of bike at 38 and more aero
But not sure about hand positions and if I am too narrow to breathe properly and really be able to push it on bike
Does anyone else have issue when sit up not being able to be comfortable with hand position but wanted narrow bars?
