We use sticky-particle simulations to estimate the bar pattern speeds in disk galaxies over a wide range of Hubble types. For early types our results agree with the fast rotation found in previous kinematical measurements, while for later types significantly slower bars are found. Slow bars tend to be small, and favor less luminous galaxies, for a given bulge-to-total ratio.
