Wide carbon bar suggestions?

[d_douglas]

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of 46cm centre-to-centre carbon fibre bars? Preferably not the $500 ones.

Given differences in measurement points (I hate that) sometimes manufacturers quote 46cm but they're measured outside to outside. In that case, I would like to know about 48cm bars!!

Are there no 46cm carbon bars out there? Am I doomed to use aluminum bars?

i sadly have some basically new bontrager race x lite in 44cm that you can have cheap if you'd like to try some.

cheers,

But I am specifically looking for 46cm bars. I used to use 44's and they're OK, but I switched to 46 Salsas and they fit better. I am using the bar on a Cinelli ti stem which is flexy as hell, but have plans to ditch the stem (as cool looking as it is) in favour of something stiffer.

I hear so many good things about carbon bars that I think I want to give them a try, but not at the sacrafice of proper width.

Bontrager does make their carbon bars in 46cm, and so does Kestral.

Are available with a 26 clamp size or a 31.8 OS clamp size.If you want the ultimate stiffness,get the OS.

I have 44 Kestrels with both clamp sizes and both are quite stiff,but the OS is slightly stiffer. They are almost a classic bend,and I really like them.
