I have 40cm Easton bars on most of my bikes. I've tried 42cm and it feels too wide to me; on the other hand, I do have a 38cm bars on one bike and that also feels comfortable. Different manufacturers measure from different points, so if you're looking to swap bars to a different manufacturer and not just a wider version of what you already have, make sure they're measured consistently (ie, measurement could be at the hoods or in the drops, and could be as center-center or outside width).
