Myth? Fashion? Don't know, but when I'm
busting a gut on a road climb, and keeping ground contact with my
front wheel is not an issue (like on a steep mountain bike climb), I
sit up.

I don't imagine the width would make a difference, but usually the wider
bars are risers. Does the riser bar make the steeper climbs more
difficult?

I put some big risers on my cruiser bike, and it really does feel wierd
having the flat bars on my MTB. I'm thinking about smaller risers. I just
don't want to make the extended climbs any harder than they already are!

Of course. How do you think I can handle urban assault?
