46cm handlebars? Doesn't this give you shoulder pain on long rides? (For that reason I recently switched from 42 to 36)
Negative This VO bar is my go-to on almost all of my drop bar bikes, with few exceptions. Anything narrower causes me horrible shoulder pain after about 20 miles. I have broad shoulders, and 46 to 48cm bars are the sweet spot depending on flare, ramp length, etc.
