i had tag fatbars and never had any trouble with them. i have also had renthal bars with no trouble. pro-taper is supposed to make amazing bars so i would look into them. if i had the choice i would buy a set of pro tapers, just never needed to buy bars before.

before my renthals my favorite bar was the Pro Taper Henry/Reed.
excellent bars.

ya, i would get a set of pro's for sure.

so my next ? is how do u figure out what size you need? ive got some fairly long arms so do i want a higher rise or a lower one?

oh..... i dont even want to touch this subject. there are way too many possibilities. rise isnt really gonna affect are length as much as sweep will.

well im 6'2" and i have a pair of turners that have the CR high bend. I figure if you have long arms then you probly have long legs to so they keep the bars out of my knees if i have to turn the bike sharp. but the are sorta narrow so the bike doesnt feel as stable
