bike_dummie Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) If you feel you are slouching over too much I'd get some higher bars presuming you have an onza master stem if not get a higher stem. It is not possible to be too big for a mod as you get tall people riding 20" and small people riding 26" and vice versa, same goes for 24, unless your abnormally small ortall Edited September 3, 2012 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 The cockpit size doesn't have anything to do with the wheel size. Some street bikes will have lower bb's than comp bikes so you aren't so lent over , but then they are shorter so you are just squashed a different way. Just try a high stem and bars with a big rise if you want more room, or maybe if your forks have been cut down loads get some with a longer stem and use stackers. It probably feels weirder because you are going about on two wheels, its fine if you spend all your time on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
