Summary My experience with alt handlebars has, errr… altered my perception of touring handlebars entirely. I used to prefer drops on touring bikes because:
– I wasn’t a huge fan of butterfly bars (they lacked the width I desired)
– I wasn’t a huge fan of flat bars (they offered fewer hand positions than my drop bars) The latest generation of handlebar designs has given me lots of width, lots of hand positions and a nice aero location so I can tuck in my elbows for headwinds. I’ve found my Crazy Bars work better at both high and low speed, better on dirt roads and better on the steep climbs. I honestly can’t find any downsides for the majority of the bike travel I do. I’m not planning on going back to drops unless my bike is set up to be light, fast and intended for smoother surfaces. Think ultralight carbon touring bike with bikepacking bag ensemble. Otherwise, wide alt bars all the way! Yewww! 总结 通过我试用多位把(Alternative Bar)的体验,不得不说,完全颠覆了我对旅行车 车把的世界观
我曾经更喜欢在旅行车上使用弯把,是因为:
--我并不喜欢蝴蝶把(尽管也是多把位,但是宽度总是不够)
--我也不太喜欢普通的平把(相比我的弯把,把位少了些)
新生代的车把设计给我更宽的力臂、多个抓握位置以及很棒的气动姿势,让我可以再顶风骑行时收缩肘关节来获得更小的身体迎风面,我试过我的Crazy Bar,无论高速度还是低速度,无论是烂路还是陡坡,表现都强于弯把,诚实的说,基本找不到什么短板。
因此,我不再打算换回弯把,除非单车的设置是针对轻快骑行和铺装路面,抑或是全碳超轻公路车加挂包旅行,不然,多把位车把真的是...劲!!!
