Next meet big fella?
Tonight I put the midge bars on the Trek. Also bought a £9 Zepp stem from on-one at the same time - a bit more rise than the syntace, plus I was able to get another spacer in under the stem raising the bar even more.
Feels comfier, higher obviously. In the drops it almost feels mountain bike-ish, they're significantly wider than the 40cm bars I had on before. Curious to see if I'll notice a difference in speed out on the road - it's definitely less aerodynamic, but it's not like my name's Armstrong. Hopefully less time trying to unkink my back every 10 minutes, and more comfort in general.
