i really dont know how people ride with such narrow bars! i've tried holding my bars closer to the center clamp to see how it feels and.... it feels unstable since im concentrating a lot of my weight in a smaller area instead of distributing it across the bars. i felt a huge disadvantage because i couldnt properly hold myself up when i wanted to stand up and climb. plus theres only ONE hand position. sure you can shimmy your hands closer or further from the center but its basically the same position.

seriously, how do you guys have the leverage to climb when you're gripping so close to the center?
