I've got a stock 13' Stumpy FSR Comp, I'm looking at a Carbon bar upgrade to smooth out chatter for those longer rides. Enve seems to be a well liked brand of carbon components so I am looking at their RSR (riser) bar. I'm open to other suggestions, but this is my first choice right now. Here's my question, how much will I notice the difference in the "fit" of these bars vs the stock as some of the numbers are slightly different. I currently like my set up, fit wise, so I don't want to monkey with it too much. It appears they should feel pretty similar to me, but not sure, hence the question.
Specs: Specialized Bar || Enve Bar
Width: 720mm || 740mm (I'm assuming I could cut these down if needed)
Rise: 10mm || 23mm
Sweep 10-degree back / 6-degree up || 9-degree back / not sure? Is this the TIP measurement listed as 5-degrees?
Stumpy Specs: Specialized Bicycle Components
Enve Specs: ENVE Carbon Riser Bar
On a side note, I already picked up some XT Brakes to replace the freaking Avids which I'll install at the same time as the new bar, can't wait.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
