TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
Morning Rob, Chris, Mick, Tim, and anyone else that signed on at a normal hour. Running way behind today. Cheryl and I (over) celebrated our 10th anniversary last night. Definitely feeling foggy. Might be time for a Bloody Mary run.
New seat is working out well but I can't shake the feeling that the bars are still too low anymore. I guess my body is changing. Anyway, I called Wild 1 and they even gave me a coupon for 10% off. Ordered the Chubby 14" in satin black and the risers in gloss black. When I sat on the bike and measured I was up in the air on 12-14. He said most that are on the fence are not happy with the 12 and get the 14 so I just went that way with it. Will work with my stock cables, the parts were in stock so they are shipping today.
Bob, 10 years? Wow, I'm starting a GoFundMe for Cheryl for putting up with you and your damn finger pointing.

Only one way to figure it out, I guess.
But Greg, I said since that, that I went with the 14" bars lol.
I JUST saw the idea of using polyvinyl chloride pipe to mock up bars. But oh well...
I brought the bike in so I could get help measuring for bars. I hovered at the 12-14 range. I'll edit this to also add, the biggest seller on these bars was the wrist angle. I measured to figure out about where I would need to be and these look like they'll put me at a neutral wrist angle. The beach bars I have keep my wrists at an aggressive angle but the fact they're low offsets that.
