Hey Drew, I've ridden: On-One Midge. Shallow Drop, but maybe not as wide as you're looking for, and honestly, a good first dirt drop bar, but not my favorite. Just not enough space for the hands in the drops.
Currently riding: The Gary 2 Bar by Origin8. It's 25.4, but you could use a shim for the 26 clamp stem. It still has a shallow drop, but is wider and with more hand room on the drops. I've been loving it. Other bars I've looked at: The Dajia Far Bar for sale on Velo-Orange: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/dajia-far-bar-handlebar-silver.html - ultra-wide, looks like it would be able to steer a moose (and would probably work for a wooly mammoth), but only comes in 31.8 clamp. Made my jaw drop the first time I saw them, but I understand not wanting to track down a different stem. The Soma Portola bar: http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/portola-bar - 112mm drop, pretty wide, 26.0 clamp size. Could be a good fit! - Mike On Friday, March 17, 2017 at 11:25:21 AM UTC-5, drew wrote: > > I seem to be going in reverse rivendell order with handlebars on the > hunqapillar. it had albatross and now albastache bars. like both for up to > 30 mile rides, but im starting to get bad wrist pain/numbness after that.
