For single-track riding with any amount of technicality, the few times I’ve tried more highly swept bars, I have not liked them.
But I do like them for cranking out the miles on less challenging terrain. I am building up an andventure bike over the winter and I plan to use something like the Jones H or Crazy Bar.
I like the look of the Surly Mokola, but damn that is heavy…. But I am wondering if the feel of steel might be appreciated on a rigid bike….. but then again, my experience with Surly steel stuff (I have a KM and a Wednesday) is that it is pretty overbuilt and not the most “steel is real” feel.
