What kind of riding do you do and on what kind of bike ?
My personal preference is for the black (comfort) bars which is what I have on my bike. I find them perfect in allowing my wrists to be perfectly straight.
I have a feeling that they also offer more adjustability for a comfortable hand/wrist position compared to the flat silver bars, but I may be wrong.
That is helpful. I ride about an hour a day. I have a Miyata Quick Cross hybrid bike (1990)
Wrist discomfort isn't horrible but plenty of room (angle) for improvement.
I was thinking 15 degrees of back sweep would help, maybe 20.
And yeah, some rise might be good. Take some pressure off the hands(?).

THANKS
