comfortable handlebar alternative

[barry g]

My hands & wrist also ached after any rides over 30 min. I switched to a "trekking" handlebar. I also changed to an adjustable stem. I would recommend wrapping handlebar with an old innertube to the thickness & comfort you're looking for before applying handlebar tape. All my riding is on paved surfaces--works well for me. Just sayin"

That aero tuck is a serious risk to the neck IMHO.
I wrap my bars in pool floats.

The bars have many ergonomic positions available... the aero tuck is for short durations.

It is about what works for you. I regularly upgrade or customize touch points. For bar tape I like the ones with gel. It is thick and feels good. With eBikes, getting aero is not as important as comfortable time in the saddle and how you feel the next day.

Got mine through nashbar-there are numerous other distributors as well.
