Order a new road bike through local bike shop. The bike has 44cm wide bars and I need 38cm bars. Only bars bike shop have in stock are 38cm at the tops with a flare to 42cm in the drops. They can do a straight swap at no cost.
Flared drops are completely new to me. I plan to use the bike for some light gravel. Any reason to avoid?
