Comfortable handlebars.

Ok, I've been suffering recently with wrist pain since I've started commuting on my DIY ebike. I've tried changing bar position, seat position and height. The bike is a bionicon golden willow, yes odd choice, but very adjustable. I've experimented with hand position whilst riding and find that if I put my thumb on top of the grip, it eases the discomfort, so I'm thinking more height and back sweep.
Stooge cycles Moto bar looks great, size and shape wise, but you just can't get them.
Does anyone know of a bar with the same dimensions as that bar?

Scan through Planet-X bars, see what they have.
Look at ergo grips with the large palm areas too.

Just looked up the bike, what do you commute over, I know the roads are bad but... ;-)

As above the On One OG might be of interest, it's not quite the same as moto bar but got a decent sweep back.

As a side note I found thinner grips gave me less hand issues, lock on grips are actually quite chunky. I use the Renthal push on ones on most of my bikes.

Ha Ha, I know it does look like a DH beast, but it's quite a light frame set and I'd bought it as a project which changed into a commuter, schwalbe big ben street tyres and a bafang mid drive conversion, actually a lot of fun. Full sus makes a lot of sense as a fast ebike commuter.

I had wondered about the ergon grips, I know that shifting weight to the palm area is supposed to help.

I'll have a look at the planet X and On One bars, thanks.

I can see you adjusting your angles as you mount a curb to get on a cycle path and for the best angles around a roundabout to pull past the cars 🖐

To be honest I never use the geometry adjust, I have it in full downhill mode, just because it looks cooler!

I have another Bionicon frameset which I'm intending to list for sale, they are interesting, I just need to clear some space in the garage.

I use on one og bars on both my bikes with ergon gs1 grips and they comfy for all day rides

Can't remember but I use the on-one fleegle bars for a flat bar with plenty of sweep but doesn't change the reach or height.
Love them in the commuter.

Just came across this site too.
