What do you guys think of a bar with 12 back and 4 upsweep? Im talking about the tall t bars by sunday. Most people ride like 10-11 backsweep and 1 or 2 upsweep. Have any of you had experiencs with these bars or bars with the same geometry? I would be glad if you share them. Like, does it feel weird, is it easy on the wrists (I have wrist problem).... Generally What difference does the geometry make? Thanks

The best is when you go into a bike shop grab the bars and see which one you like most , all our internet opinions don't mean jack shit .....they sure as hell won't make you ride better

Currently ride with 11.5 backsweep and it´s perfect, before I was on a 12 and both are fine but less than those values (10/11) feels to straight.
Also for the upsweep i ride with 2.5, coming from a 3 up, I like the 2.5 better (perfect wrist position to me) but lower would feel bend down.
The 3 was still a cool feeling but one day I'll try a 4 up to see how it feels.

Big 4s with a topload stem is perfect for me therefore it's the best setup ever no matter what.

I've got 12 deg backsweep, moving from a 10.
Felt great and my wrists stopped bugging me.
It doesn't matter where a train goes. It's decidin' to get on that does.
