More About the Schlitter Difference
The open arm position allowed by open cockpits (also known as U bars, superman bars or tweener bars) is reminiscent of the position found on traditional road bikes and can allow great control, aerodynamics, and easy breathing when climbing and sprinting.
However, reaching an adjustment that
can allow all these qualities at once
without shin interference or thigh
interference during sharp steering is
often tricky, requiring a lengthy trial
and error process of swapping stems
and handlebars of different dimensions.
Even the best adjustment often comes at the expense of a restricted line of sight.
