    When I look at other bikes I see the saddle is higher than the stem/bar. On my bike the saddle is a bit lower. Maybe I have short legs as I don't think the saddle can go higher comfortably. I'm 5'8 and my bike is a Small 29er frame. Maybe it is the bike model or geometry. My stem is slightly angled up I could flip it- it has no spacers currently and the bar is the std Silverback flat bar with no rise. Why is my saddle so low in comparison to others? Also on a mtb is one not so supposed to sit more upright on the trail? Which would mean a higher stem/bar or is this not so. I was thinking of going shorter stem 45mm or 55mm (its now 80mm) and wider bars 740mm- 780mm (up from 700mm) thinking I'd get more control and a zero stem angle but then it usually means a riser bar and that means my saddle will be lower than the stem/bar.......

    Handlebars can be a touchy subject. These days, everyone's on the "wider is most definitely better" bandwagon, with even marathon riders being advised to ditch their long stems and narrow bars for setups which sit as close as possible to the steerer and create as much leverage as possible to (man)handle the front wheel.

    When the guys at Performance Bikes told us they had some shiny FUNN gear for us to look at, we weren't quite prepared for the colour assault our eyes were in for. The main attention grabber being the Fatboy Chameleon bars, although the two pairs of pedals, the cross-country Tactic and downhill Mamba, can't be labeled as dull either.

    When I asked the guys from Larc Distributors for some products to test, they immediately wanted to give me some flashy colours to show off their FUNN lineup. I usually like a more sedated look - some small colour accents here and there, nothing fancy. So when Ryan and Andrew handed over some colourful items, I was a bit taken aback, but also kind of intrigued. Click here to view the article

    Following our last article on handle bar width, readers felt more information was needed on specifics such as riders shoulder width vs handlebar width, handle bar back sweep/rise and stem length/angle. In this two part article, we tackle these questions and explain how correct handle bar setup can improve your cycling. Click here to view the article
