I've been told from several sources when fitting a road bike, that you
should choose bars that are approximately shoulder width.
It seems, after watching the pros on TV for several years, that not everyone
follows this particular bit of wisdom. It would seem to me that some pros
have bars that are wider than what conventional wisdom would indicate.
Any comments on choosing the proper (drop bar) handlebar width? Is this
like an "aero-penalty-versus-comfort" type of thing? I was thinking a
slightly wider bar (like a 46 vs. my current 44) might be more comfortable
on the road. Am I wrong in thinking this?
