old inspired riser bars rise?

[jeff costello]

i'm thinking about updating the front of my mod soonish - new bars and lever/blade. since things are moving towards a higher front ends, i wanted to get bars that are a little higher than the ones i have now, but not crazy high.

i can't find the rise-measurements of my old bars anywhere, because they aren't sold anymore. i think they are the inspired high rise bars which i bought in 2013. any help would be appreciated.

also anyone have pointers on good bars (aluminum, not carbon)? i was thinking about the clean ones - but  11cm is a lot of rise.

I don't remember the rise on them off the top of my head, though from memory they were ~35-40mm or so of "rise" in the conventional (MTB) sense. Not entirely sure where the upsweep puts the ends though.

The Inspired bars were lower than the Trialtech High Rise bars. The TTHR are listed on TartyBikes as being 1mm higher "total rise" than the Arcade bars, though due to the increased upsweep on the TTs the bulk of the grip section is actually a tad lower. Plenty of posts on that matter elsewhere though.

thanks. i found that 40mm rise number somewhere on the web, but it seemed very low compared to the measurements i saw on new bars and especially compared to the trialtech ones (which i assumed to be similar to mine)

i'd do an appr. measuring of my bars, but i have no idea how it is measured: center of clamping area - to center of tube at top point?

 

here's a pic of the bars:

Bear in mind that the "Total Rise" measurement you seen on Tarty describes the highest point at the end of the bars, which is slightly different to the way most MTB style bars are described (where "rise" is more about the bends to the bar in the centre). Tarty's helps to take into account the sweep on the bars, so whilst the TTHR bars are a gnat's pube higher at the ends, the Arcade bars are higher for the bulk of the section of bar you'll be holding.

so, 

top of the tube at outermost/highest point is one measuring point. 
the other is bottom of the clamping area oder center of clampig area?

[jeff costello]

if i put the bars on the floor upside down (so that they are appr. vertical) the center of the bottom part is about 95mm off the floor, the bottom of the bottom part 105mm
(subtracting 5mm for the grips i was too lazy to remove).

makes the 110mm rise of the clean and jitsie risers seem less crazy than before.

yeah, i thought i remembered the same thing, but it's probably the trialtech sport riser my bars are similar to which have 88mm rise. (if 'center to top' is the right way to measure)
