Bought a new CX bike.
OEM bars are 44cm c-c. This is up from 42cm c-c on my previous bike.
They feel HUGE.... but I'm considering leaving them for a bit.
I will ride the CX bike for longish gravel rides during the spring/summer and use it as a CX race bike in the fall.
I feel like maybe I should go back to 42cm.
I have a set of 42cm bars sitting in my parts box that are 40.5cm at the hoods... too narrow for CX?
What size would be that sweet spot between gravel and CX?
My road bike has 38cm c-c at the hoods. Narrow is aero!
I'm 173cm tall.
