In an attempt to resolve a tendonitis issue, I have just had the bars on my Giant swapped from a 40cm to a 38cm Giant bar
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/gear/product/giant.connect.sl.drop.bar.road.handlebar/572/39036/
and had the bars wrapped in a relatively fancy 3mm Fizik tape
I will also need to swap the bars on my Pearson carbon toy to a 38cm bar (which was fitted with a 42cm handlebar when built for me, although it was they who recommended the narrower bar last weekend ) . The Pave also has a 100mm stem, but I have bought a 90mm one to match the Giant
I assume it would be eminently sensible to put the same bar and tape on both bikes? The Giant accounts for many more miles but I do intend to ride the Pearson a bit more this summer
The geometry is here for the Giant (size M) http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/avail.2/9048/48934/#geometry
The Pave is a 545mm frame
The Giant has Tiagra, the Pearson SRAM Apex so the hoods are a different shape, the shifting different
Cheers all. Sorry if all of this is really obvious!
