Do road drop bars feel weird to you? I find narrow bars kinda spooky on fast descents.

Yeah, 42cm drops feel a little narrow. I now have 46cm VO drops on my two main bikes and 44 Noodle on my track bike. Still, after a couple days of mountain biking the drops feel uncomfortably narrow and twitchy for the first half hour of riding. I haven't done long rides on anything narrower.

Every time I do dirt biking with my dad I ask him to get wider bars

feels so sketchy with all that power under me.
