Handlebars: 3 things to consider before buying
Handlebars come in various styles, each suited to different types of cycling. If you're into road cycling, drop handlebars are a popular choice as they offer multiple hand positions and an aerodynamic advantage. For mountain biking, flat or riser handlebars provide better control on rough terrains. Think about your cycling habits and choose handlebars that enhance your riding experience.
The material of handlebars affects both weight and durability. Aluminium handlebars are lightweight and affordable, making them a common choice for many cyclists. Carbon fibre options are even lighter and absorb vibrations well, but they can be more expensive. Steel handlebars offer great strength but tend to be heavier. Balance your need for durability with the desired weight to find the right fit.
When selecting handlebars, it's crucial to ensure they are compatible with your bike's stem and components. Measure the diameter of your current setup to find bars that will fit properly. Additionally, consider the width of the handlebars; wider bars can offer more control but might not suit all riders or bikes. Double-check these specifications to avoid any installation issues.
