so with all the low axle to crown forks and flat bars, who has the lowest bar hight?
my dhr, with a 8" travis, is 40.5" from the ground to the end of the grip.
lowest bar hight?
Bottom of the grip? Centre of the grip?
22 Pride
Bottom of the grip? Centre of the grip?
center
Your DHR also has a ridiculously short headtube.
ya but it has to run a reg. headset.
a 1.5 with internal headset should have about the same stack height….no?
yeah and its a king right now, not the lowest. i got a sunline, to replace the shity king.
tires could make a differance too
how about running 3" risers upside down?
bikes:
04 norco 4by w/ 05 sherman firefly :(
07 KTM 144sx :)
I like to throw up prior to dropping into a-line. I find it makes jumping easier.
best answer ever…

It's gonna be all about the spandex and drops at WBP this year:
treezz
wow you are a ass
Good work. I bet you can almost see over those bars too hey?

LOL !!!
That's where its going.
I'll stick to my riser bars over fads anyday :woot:
The closer my bars are to my chin the better… Might be a little slower in the corners but way more leverage and control…
Some of the stupidly low bar heights seem like it equates to riding a scooter with the bars at your shins… I'd sooner fit into a bike than sit up on top of a pedistal…

the relationship of bb to bar height is more important than the static ground to bar height. as bb heights have dropped from 15"+ to sub 14", to maintain the same (balanced) foot to bar height, obviously bar heights had to drop. putting a flat bar low fork [HTML_REMOVED] low stack on something like a vp free is gonna be pretty front heavy / sketch when it gets steep [HTML_REMOVED] tech, but the same setup on an m6 might be just spiffy. its all relative. ie - i run a flat bar on my 13.5" bb bike, but a 3/4" riser on my 14.25" bike. anyways… to each his own.

interesting opinion….
I agree, definitely a preferrence thing….
This will be loopsrider riding into the Whistler Boneyard in 2009 … look for him rockin' the high rise bars next year !!
