How wide/high are you guys running your bars? I have some low rise bars currently and am looking into getting new ones: probably 2 or 3 inch rise... anyone have some suggestions?

Also, how wide are you cutting your bars for spins and x-ups? Mine are currently stock width and kinda a pain in the ass.

one inch or 2 inch rise (sponsorship) with stem flipped over is my deal cut down to about 25-23 inches depending on use (dj's, street, park, etc)

I started with 1.5" rise bars cut to 25.5", but I found them too low with my rigid fork. Now I've got 3" rise bars cut to about the same length and them seem nice.

I bought Dirty's old SIC LL bars. The sweep is a little bit different from most, but I like it. Revell's also got some 3" rise bars in 31.8 and they're really inexpensive. BTI stocks them.

On my cruiser, I cut the bars down as short as possible...so much easier to bar spin now. Chop em' down to what feels comfortable. :thumb:

I use SIC Chase 2" bars cut down to 25" i think i might go a bit short. The sweep on the Chase feels very natural
