Thanks for your reply hokiefyd. I realize this is a subjective problem and will definitely talk to my LBS. I did change out my stem, but maybe not enough. I went from a 90mm 7 degree to an 80mm 17 degree one. As well as bringing the bars up and a little closer, I’m interested in the idea that new bars could also change the angle of my wrists slightly.

Do bike shops allow test rides of different bar styles? I’ve been through this with my motorcycle. I had to choose a set of bars based on the specs and reviews of people who had them. I was not able to test ride. The bars I ended up with are fine, but I could have done better I think. On my bicycle, I would like to get it right the first time.
