What is the point of risers? I've got them on my new bike, but it seems that it puts me in a more upright position, making my control less agressive.
The height factor seems moot to me. Raise the stem, lower the stem....and all that.
One thing that nobody seems to mention about risers is that if they rise enough, you can get a significant change in saddle-bar distance just by tilting them fore and aft. ----------------------- PeteCresswell
my bars have 2 in rise, maybe. fore and aft movement is nice to have, also changes brake-shift engagement (feel).
