Handlebar for 98 Rockhopper
I'm wondering if there are any aftermarket handlebars that would work on my 1998 Rockhopper and still look original. I've been riding a newer Kona and I am preferring the wider bar (a little over 26 inches). The Rockhopper's bar is around 23 3/4. I know that isn't much of a difference but I definitely feel more confident and comfortable with the wider bar.
Is there a normal width measurement range for mountain bike bars?

So you need to know your stem size (31.8, 25.4, 26.0) and then find one 660mm wide if you like the kona width.
