Hey guys,
Wondering who rides the biggest bars for flat? I've heard Trevor Myer rode the 9.5 X 31" Haro Kneesavers for ages, because he's a pretty tall dude with long limbs. Does anybody around here flatland with bars that big?
I've got two sets of bars:
9.5" X 31" Haro Kneesavers
8" X 27" GT Tour Reissue 4Piece Bars
I started with the GT bars back in August, and they felt so small I changed to the big Haro bars in October. They felt far more comfortable and I love them. However, now I'm wondering if I'm going to want smaller bars as I get better? I do notice that it might be harder to do some of the stuff I want to relearn with the bigger bars. Makes you have to reach further for stuff like undertakers, etc. Or swinging your leg up and over for front wheel stuff.
Also, I am working on my hang fives, and the big bars are definitely more of a liability when leaping over the bars while bailing.
What are your experiences with bar size as you skill level raised?
