usually sweep is measured in degrees???
24 degrees seems ridiculous... and that is the LEAST amount of sweep you can get?
for reference my easton ea50's have 5 degrees of sweep. i think i may like slightly more; like something in the 7-10 degree range.

unfortunately, i'm going to have to retract my membership. after a few weeks of riding risers, i went back to bullhorns. now my wrists don't hurt anymore and i have 3-4 hand positions instead of 1.
