Bar width

[TomGeorge]

My bars are 19 wide, but I only ride tech and flat. I'm cutting off the slit for scs and am going to cur down the width while I'm there. What width do you recommend? I cant have to narrow cause my bars have a curve in them.

 

[RiccardoM]

Keep them 19.

 

[TomGeorge]

I'd like to make them narrower though. I used to ride rup bars at 18 wide and 1 inch makes a lot of difference, so idk?

Cut half an inch on each side, duhh...
Edit: So instead of 19 it's 18 wide

 

[TomGeorge]

Yea I get that, I'm not thick. What I mean is should I cut to 18 or go even narrower? 16 is about as narrow as I could go, but if adding 1 inch from my rup bars made so much difference, would cutting 3 off be really bad? Or what would people say?

It's all preference, man. Gotta cut em down a bit at a time till you feel good about a width.

Cut them so they are the same width as your shoulders.
