My commute is very short and easy (20 minute ride). However, I have started riding longer distances (20-30 miles) just for fun. The primary reason I wanted to get different bars was because I wanted the 45nrth Cobrafist pogies for the coming winter and they don’t fit on these handlebars because of that bent bar end.

I wasn’t exactly looking for more hand positions but maybe I should because my right wrist hurts on the radial side (I feel like it’s related to the way I shift gears?) after longer rides. I started riding in late August so I’m pretty new to biking… and I don’t know much. I’ll check out some used bike stores and see if they have bars that work for me, thanks for your advice!

Kg1 is a white king move…? I’m confused what you mean. Maybe you mean Kg8? If so, the bishop is covering that square so the king shouldn’t be able to move there…

If pawn takes the rook on d2, then the other rook goes to h3 for mate

Rd2 and then Rh2 or Rh3 depending on how black moves.

I’m not too familiar with chess notation so hope I got that right
