that depends on a few more factors than your shoulder width - type of riding - what's the need for narrow bars - ? racing / aero. also your flexibility around neck, shoulders and upper back. a simple rule of thumb is to get something close to your acromial (bony prominence on side of shoulder) width - if you want something to feel more relaxed then you could go 44, if you want the handling to feel more responsive / nimble then opt for 42cm - as I said though, of course you can go narrower but think of the reasons as there are some comproimises when you go a lot narrower than your shoulder width - breathing, handling, control, elbow/knee knock etc
@@tomaszzytkiewicz1992 in that case yeh 38 - 40 should be ok. if at all possible try out what 38 and 40 feel like in a bike shop or a mate's bike to help you decide
if you mean the outside edge of your shoulders is 38cm then the centre is probably closer to 34-36 so I'd go with 36cm (if road riding). 34cm bars are very hard to get hold of (apart from kids road bike dealers). if gravel then stick with something a touch wider like 38 for more steering / handling control. hope that helps
@@thebikethebody thank you so much for your advice. i bought a lynskey helix gravel frameset, which i will be using on both roads and touring overseas eventually. so i should choose the 38cm handlebar.
@@yanmok9711 yep, probably a good bet for a little more control - but if you get shoulder and neck issues then probably still worth dropping down to 36cm
Hi Hugo, sorry you're struggling to hear it correctly. I've just had a quick check and seems ok but will try and adjust the gain on this video's audio to improve. I now have a mic for videos which hopefully removes the problem in future!!

will 38cm handlebar be good for me if my shoulders are 43cm wide and I'm 173cm?

@@thebikethebody thanks for your answer! I’m racing and I want to have aggressive position on my bike and I guess 40/38 should be good

Volume is the highest and can barely hear you.
