Handlebars

[Paul000]

Is there any rule of thumb for the hight of your handle bars for mountain bikes??? I mainly ride XC, single track, some hills, etc type stuff...

I know with the seat there are different opinions floating around... wasn't sure about the handle bars


thanks...

The handlebars should, I think, be about the same height as your saddle.

Most mt bikes come with a slight rise on the neck. I flipped my upside down and it helped get more leverage over the front tire when climbing steep pitches. You might try that, too.

Riser bars are nice. I like bar ends, too. But, be warned, people make fun of you for having bar ends because they know it makes you hardcore. Jealous bitches.

WHatever you find comfortable. Everybody is different. Just find what is comfortable for you. Don't worry about what others might think.
