46mm Nitto Noodles are great for me. That is wider than would be suggested for my narrowish shoulders, but I like the way they feel.
Stapfam, that's interesting about the wide MTB bars you use. Most of the singletrack riding in my area is tight, twisty stuff, weaving between trees. Most riders cut their bars down to 21" to avoid clipping a tree. You also rarely see experienced riders using bar ends (I'm talking about the grips, not the shifters). Most have horror stories about a vine or limb snagging a bar end and flipping their bike over backwards or spinning it around.
