Looking for guidelines on cutting my handlebar down to size. It`s a Bontrager with a slight rearwards taper/bend to it and is currently found on my 26" Trek Top Fuel full susp. The bar feels really wide and so i am contemplating cutting it down to size. It measures 63 cm or 24.8 inches. I don`t use the bike for any type of aggressive riding just for normal commuting riding etc.

Here`s a link to something similar to what i have.

Manillar Specialized Aluminio Mini Rise - Kbike

I am using bar ends that are similar to these. Riding a too wide bar these have a nasty habit of hooking up to lots of unwanted obstacles

So how much is just about enough for my use? I suspect this bar is classed as a long handlebar. Cut off 2.5 inches on each side biting off too much?
