RicH_87 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 when i had flat bars they were best when either upright, or tilted forward slightly. never tilted them back, and never would. stick with upright, or slightly forwards, just whatever makes you most comfy.

Tomm Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 stick with upright, or slightly forwards, just whatever makes you most comfy. ← For me, that was slightly back. Everyone is different though, there's no point asking what is "right". If your wrists are going numb, I would say it might not be a bad idea to change it back...

Sponge Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks guys, I've set the handlebar onto the total upright position, and my wrists feel so much more comfy... Perhaps I should upgrade to risers in the future, but not until I totally mangle my flats (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Slightly forward. It's nice to pull the the opposite direction of the bars curving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Just back from the vertical suits me fine, though my wrists were fine even when they were swept back a fair way (due to sucky stem bolts rather than my intention).
