I have a lingering wrist injury that seems to be exacerbated by mountain biking. For a while, I had to take a break from MTB due to the pain, and I've seen an ortho surgeon, physical therapist, and got cortisone shots twice. I realized that part of the reason I switched to road was the position doesn't hurt my wrists.
I'm wondering if anybody has used or investigated "ergo" bars that have like 15* or more bend to them. I want to maintain as much control as possible, but I would gladly give up some go-fast speed if I can actually ride a flat bar bike for an hour without pain for the next 3-4 days. I don't want full drop bars, but I see some examples like the Salsa bend 2 that might fit the bill
