anyway, experiment and see what feels better, and live with them for a while and make changes on the fly.

remember too it may be hit and miss with the stem length angle etc, so good luck mucking about with that variable also.
+1 on the angle. i dont use butterfly bars but with any bars the angle is a big part of my comfort for long mileage days.
