How High are You?

I’m working on a bike fit article for Bicycle Times, and would really like to gather any feedback anyone out there has regarding handlebar height. Topics I’m covering involve questions like:

  1. When you bought your last bike, was the handlebar positioned too high, too low, or just about right? Was that a road bike, mountain bike, or something else?
  2. Which affects your bar height the most: where you ride (terrain/road conditions), how you ride (riding style), or why you ride (fitness/commuting/racing)?

Feel free to comment or use the question form over there on the right to send me your thoughts, and maybe you’ll get your name mentioned in a magazine, just like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

    As a rule I always set my handlebars just below the height of my saddle. I don’t like to get crazy but I don’t like to cruise either so just below the saddle provides the best balance of performance and comfort.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
