RiderRace Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sorry for the newb question, but I feel like when I'm rollin' around on my trials bike I'm really hunched over. So what's a standard handlebar height for a stock bike? I'm 6'2" (1.88m) tall and ride with a decent stem rise, but no riser bars (it's what came with the bike). Would some riser bars help, or should I just throw on the big-girl panties and deal with it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 What bike is it? Stem and bar height mainly depend on the bottom bracket height to be honest and the wheelbase though I'd recommend changing to some decent riser bars as they'll feel a lot better than flats. I use Tryall rage bars on my mod and tensile 9d's on my stock (they're both basically the same but the tryalls are just wider) and they feel great!

If my research does me right its 1095 wheel base and 25 BB. Stem has decent rise and length, but nothing spectacularly large. I dunno??

isitafox Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Does the frame look like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderRace Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Does the frame look like this? Why, yes, it does. Seat stay looks a tad tall, but that probably because I've been on here checking out all the newer frames for the past week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 They do seem to have quite a hunched over position. We've got long reach, high BB and low forks, so it will chuck your weight forwards compared to another kind of bike. Now that's not to say your bike doesn't have a low stem. Get some pictures up! Then we can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderRace Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The bikes back at home while I'm at University, since I hadn't gotten all the parts in before school started this week. As soon as I get my BB in from Trialspads, I'll head back home to snap some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
