Hi,

 

I’m wondering if anyone can help. I’m after upgrading to narrower bars (either 36 or 38cm) and am struggling to find anything that matches the other criteria I have, namely internal cabling and flattened ‘aero’ tops (which I find more comfortable than for aero reasons).

 

I know that bontrager do an alloy set, but I can’t find any 38s anywhere, and I don’t really think that shelling out for carbon bars is a worthwhile expenditure, so any other alloy bars that you know of would be much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

Check out women’s bars – they

And as mentioned above, Deda come o-o so a 38 is actually a 36.

Probably won’t find internal

Probably won’t find internal cabling on alloy bars that size.

Deda Zero100 is I think slightly flattened on tops with a light cable groove underneath and comes in 36cm (Deda measures 38cm outside-outside): http://www.dedaelementi.com/?product=zero100&lang=en

3T Ergonova Pro is flat on tops with cable groove in 38cm: https://www.3tcycling.com/road/en/bike-components/handlebars/ergonova-pro/

PRO PLT Compact Ergo is flat on tops with cable groove in 38cm: http://www.pro-bikegear.com/en-gb/catalogue/components/77/handlebars/prha0346_main/plt-compact-ergo-handlebar

They are all alloy.

I built a road bike for one

I built a road bike for one of my daughters and finding some narrow drop bars (36cm) was one of the big challanges and ended up with a rusty set from e-bay.   A lot of track bars come in narrower widths but they often have  a very deep drop.  Brick lane bikes have a large selection.  Some of the handlebars marketed at women come in the narrower widths but they are often pricey
