Larger bars with 5 to 6 degrees of upsweep?

(1/2) > >>

hotdiggity2:
Does anyone know of any bars with 5-6 degrees of upsweep, 10-12 backsweep that are 9 inches or greater?  I've noticed my wrists / hands naturally rotate so that I'm putting more pressure on the outside of my wrists and I'm thinking more upsweep can help with this.

Thanks.

DontcallmeKenneth:
Stranger brooks bars 9 or 9.5 11 back 4 up

Tje dailygrind century higg bars are a little smaller at 8.85 but they have 5 upsweep.

dude...:
if you dont run brakes you can hold your bars just on the bend and thatll make it feel like theres more upsweep. i go through phases where it feels better to hold the bars with my thumb resting on the bar itself, on the inside of the grip cos of this

Or these:

These aren't 9", but you could run a tall stem:

Maybe someone should invent slanted grips that add upsweep to bars that don't have it..... ; )

Are you sure you don't need less upsweep? If you're feeling all that pressure on the outside of your wrists, going down to a 1 degree upsweep might be what your wrists are telling you.
