Anyone running compact road bars? I'm looking at 3T's options. I ride in the drops a lot compared to other riders and feel like a smaller drop would make it a touch nicer.
I have moderately large hands, does this make a difference? Also the 3T ones seem to imply they're for women/very small men in the blurb- is this the case?
Cant comment on 3T but I just got some Pro PLT compacts, light and cheap. Not interested in carbon bars for road racing.
I ride the drops lots and the shape suits me great. I think the closest to them may be the Ergosum or is it the ergonova....
yes, I don't like them. I prefer a greater difference from hoods to drops, and also a flat drop section.
FSA Vero Compacts on my CX & winter roadbike..
Great shape, and a bargin at £20...

Well, you don't have Jessie hands so they must be OK. Sweet, cheers.
I've got massive hands and run Pro PLT Compacts on all my bikes. No problems at all.
I run compact drops on both my road bikes ,some Deda RLM(?) on my geared bike which I find very comfy they have slightly flattened/wingshaped tops which I personally find more comfy than a normal round top.
I certainly spend more time in the drops compared to a deep drop bar.
