New Bars...
And I'm not talking about the drinking kine!
Deda 215 DEEP drop bar - 240ish grams.....not exactly 215...
For a while now, I've been riding around with my Deda 215 SHALLOW drop bar...the same one LA used in several TDF wins! But that bar's reach was just a little too short with the 11 stem I was running AND, when really hammering the drop was just a tad SHALLOW duh...
So I decided to try the Deda 215 DEEP drop and it seems like it's working out pretty good. I had to go to a shorter 10 stem, but the DEEP's reach is 15mm longer so that netted a 5mm longer reach, just what I was looking for. And, the drop is 10mm deeper so its a way better fit for me in the drops. Also, the hoods are also a tad higher since the DEEP bar does not drop angle down as sharply as the SHALLOW.
As with all bike fitting issues go...we'll just have to see how it goes.
