A few years ago I had a PRO Vibe 7S bar, the Thor Hushovd model. It had a fatter than normal top section that felt good. Looking for that round, fatter shape but with a more compact reach+drop. The Deda 35 looks to fill that bill. Any ride impressions from folks? Likes/dislikes? Thanks.

Not sire exactly what you want to hear. I love mine, stiff as anything I've ever tried. The 35mm round tops are very comfortable (only marginally thicker than taped 31.8 to be fair.

They are a b!tch to cable though, the corner of internal routing is near 90 deg and very difficult to get casing through.

Love mine, the tops feel great in your hand (especially if you have larger hands) and the curve is great, comfy in the drops or on the tops.

I didnt have too hard a time with Di2/Aican housing on the carbon bar I have, but I could definitely see how it would get real tight with a 4mm and 5mm housing. The alloy bar has no internal routing obviously, so not an issue.

Only kinda annoying thing is the lack of garmin mounts for em...gotta buy a bar fly.

I have a Deda 35 bar and stem, they are great no complaints. I love the way they feel, since I have huge hands.

My only complaint is the same as above it's hard finding mounts, and or bells for them.
