This. I have a low-rise bar on my AM 29er for this reason. Otherwise the front end would be ridiculously high.The advantage is being able to get your bars lower. 29ers typically are taller at the top of the head tube than 26ers (depending on head tube length). I run a flat bar and a flipped stem (-6 degrees) on one of my 29ers. That bike is for XC. I run a riser bar on my AM 29er.
So no one using risers on a 29er is in the "desired riding position?"In addition to being simply necessary to get the desired riding position on a 29er
If you see someone using flat bars on a 29er, one explanation is that it is necessary for them to get the desired riding position. Is that sufficiently clear?So no one using risers on a 29er is in the "desired riding position?"
