Salsa Cowbell Width ?

[firerescuefin]

Those that are running them. You running the same size as your normal road bars. Know they are measured CtC the hoods. Curious as to your thoughts.

TIA,

I went wider than my road bike (42 versus 44). I really like this additional width. I don't race the cross bike though but I have ridden the bike on local trails.

In the drops they certainly flair out which can feel a bit weird as compared to standard bars. Here's a recent pic.

My road bike size is 42, I'm running the 44 cowbell on my touring bike. I would feel ok running a 42 cowbell, but I wouldn't downsize due to the flare or anything like that.

I use these on my gravel bike and I went with the same size as my road bike bars, but my road bike bars are pretty wide (44). I like the slight flare in the drops, although I'm rarely there on the trails I ride. And the flare is barely noticeable; not like the Woodchippers.

I tried a 44cm Cowbell going one size up from my normal 42cm bars. In the end I decided a 42 Cowbell felt the best.

I use the same (46cm) size. Very wide. I love this bar and would consider it on my road bike. Flared, but not too flared - jus' right.
