Wondering if any of you in the Portland, OR area have switched your handlebars? I'd like to see and feel what some of the options are like - particularly the ProTaper ATV High which seems to be a favorite. Like many others, I suffer wrist pain on the right hand after only a short time on the bike. Need to find a solution.

And if you got them in the area, where did you find them?

Thanks!

Something that helped me was when I put an "up & back" riser on mine. It took the weight of my wrists. I also rotated the bars to get a better angle on them. I was thinking that a bar with less back angle would be more comfortable. My Venture has modular bars that can be adjusted in just about any direction. Nice to be able to dial them in.
