Good article.
I've been having problems with neck pain (after a trapped nerve smoe years ago) and have started experimenting with different setups, 1st with a more swept bar (SQLab as per the review on hear) and now before I found this article I am narrowing in the grip positions (before I cut the bars).... moving the grips in (out, shake it all about) to work out what fits and if you use lock ons then you can move them during the ride (like I have I started playing with over xmas).
I agree size makes a difference, at 6'1" and 42" chest I'm quite tall & broad so was expecting a wide bar to be better, but my old injury niggle has different ideas!
I always used to run BMX grips as they are longer allowing different placement of the hand to suit, plus I have BIG (but not massive) hands!
