Thanks for that Brian. I’ll keep this in mind. Not sure if I want to try an even wider bar or not at the moment. While I like the 44cm noodles, I’m tempted to try the “true” 48 cm width, only with more flare, so I might want to try the 52cm RM-013 rather than the 48cm. But as I said, this is all still a project in my mind at this point. For most riding I don’t think I would benefit from wider bars. But when I’m hauling big loads, it would be kind of nice to have that extra leverage up front - especially when I’ve overfilled my load on the front.
