Handlebar questions
I am thinking about replacing the slightly bent handlebars that came on my 220. Having never purchased HBs before could use some advice. I am 6' tall and am not a particularly aggressive rider. Primarily desert and trails. Suggestions on width, rise etc? Thanks.

You can always cut them down any size you want
29" is good for tight stuff

Just remember that if you put bark busters on your bars that they will be wider. If you cut to 29" and put on bark busters that are 1/2" wide your bars are now at 30" with the extra 1/2" on each side.

I'm now running mini bars I think. They are tall, like the CR talls but the bend to make them tall happens sooner and is steeper. That gives you more bar to mount things too. Meaning; the area between the end of the bar where the bark buster is to the bend where it goes down to the clamps is longer than a regular bike that get cut to 29". If you mount lots of stuff on your bars, it's real helpful.
