Thanks John, I have several bars that I can continue to try, including the Bosco Bullmoose and the regular Bosco in several widths, as well as the smaller/narrower Nitto Promenade bars. I figure I'll try to keep riding and see how it goes, and what sort of minor adjustments (or major) seem to work better. On the Hunqapillar with the Bullmoose Bosco bars (and previously with the regular ones with both 10 and 11 cm stems, my hands also hurt on the ends of the bar.
Thank you very much for your generous offer. Much appreciated!
