Getting a neutral wrist is still important. MTB handlebars don't do that. The entire idea of riding a MTB is moving your body around a lot. I've got regular MTB bars on my mountain bikes but a Salsa Bend handlebar (mentioned earlier) on my Stormchaser. I think Jones bars, various other imitator goofy bars, and the Rivendell catalog are kind of an overreaction beyond that, basically beach cruiser bars. I also think that for commutes more than about 12 miles round trip, drop bars are more appropriate. Even if I
don't like them as well
