How many guys dont ride with huge risers?

So a Neanderthal would need to lower his bars?

Have any of you guys noticed that people's hands are generally at the same height? I know there are exceptions but, taller guys generally have longer arms than shorter guys, therfore their hands reach further down. I know this sounds kinda stupid, but stand next to a guy who is not your height. Your hands will most likely hang pretty close to the same height. So the bar riser shouldn't matter if you are tall or short. Just the most comfortable riding position. The distance from the bottom of your feet,to the comfy bar height is pretty close, no matter how tall you are. I would like to hear the tall guys opinion on this one. I know somone will disagree. I work for a Yacht manufacturer in Seattle, we always seem to agree on handrail height, no matter how tall the people are. -00's

haha you apprently need to stand by someone taller or shorter than you so you can realize how retarded this statement is and go back and delete is. i'm 6'3" and when i stand by someone who is 5 9.... our hands are not at the same level.

Talking about retarded..................

Dude, if you understood what I wrote. Did I not say " most likley your hands hang pretty close to the same height" also said that " there are exceptions" So what you are saying is because you are 6'4" and your buddy is 5'9" your bars need to be 7" taller than your buddy's? If you want to call me a retard, thats cool. I can take it. But you might want to pull your head from your *** before you open your mouth. Bar height is a preferance, also an opinion, not the same for all. -00's

2zeros,
I don't feel the information you brought forward is retarded at all. I'm 6'2" and have neanderthal length arms. We did a comparison at the office and found that you're statement was quite accurate from people 5'4" to 6'2".
