For the last couple months I've been running Nitto B123 drops in the 36cm width. I absolutely love these bars. That said, I realized that I almost never ride in the drops and was feeling like changing something up anyway, so I switched back to my bullhorns earlier today. As usual, I tried to trackstand at the first stoplight I got to where I had to wait. I usually do OK, just sort of creeping a little, trying not to fall over until I just give up and put my feet on the ground. Tonight, though, I just pulled off (and maintained) a trackstand like nothing. WTF? Are slightly wider bars really making that much difference, or did something else happen?

I'm confused but happy...
