I threw some 660 bars on my Fuse when I was trying different setups. It felt soooooo small after riding the 780s I eventually stuck with. Then I think back to the time I put 610s on an old mountain bike like a decade ago and thought “these are stupid why would anyone want bars this wide?”

More than a couple L/R trees that would have been impassable with the wider bars. I have to stop and weave through them. Maybe I could have went to 680-700, but YOLO it’s fine.

This is my experience as well.

You gotta lean over on some spots with wide bars.
I am rearranging the garage today, for better bikes in/out, workbench orientation, and 'sups painting area.

720s as wide as I can go with trees around here.

yeah, and do a quick turn bars and then turn them back to squeeze between parallel trees.

your eyes are always wider than your handlebars
until you get into 780mm bar territory, the only exception are 30-60° swept bars like Jones where every so often you grind your knuckles without thinking about it
even if a weave is needed to confidently pass through a section, you should be able to do it by waggling without stopping in all but the most absurd 3+ tree scenarios

Also, that rack has got me like,
