How tall are you? And how long are your arms?

That is a tough call. I say 16"'s if you are 6"1, but it hard for me to say what height would be comfy for you.

Damnit!! All these ape threads are killing me, but one day I will get there. For now, I guess my 10" straight rise will have to do............

I would go 18", most people that go 16" or less say they wish they would of went higher. JMO though.
