I had the same experience with my first gravel handlebars. Pro Discover 46 cm. I felt like I was grabbing the sides of the shifters.
It was the only major mistake I made when purchasing parts for the gravel bike. I tried to get used to it, rode it 200 miles, but I just hated it.
I switched to bars that are much more like standard road bars (a bit more flare, but not much) and so far I’m much happier, though I haven’t had the chance to ride it much since the change.
Anyone want to buy a Pro Discover 46 cm handlebar?
