Hi, I am struggling with the choice of a handlebar and hope you guys can help give some advice.
I am currently riding a size M Canyon Nerve 7.9 with 720mm flat handlebar and 80mm stem. I found it difficult to lift front wheels and very uncomfortable in a descending position (ass above rear tyre, behind seat post) probably due to my arm length. Therefore, I decided to go for a shorter stem of 50mm thus wider bar of 760mm with a rise angle.
Question is, I am not sure which rise degree should I choose. I am thinking of a 20mm rise, but i don't know if together with the shorter stem it will change a lot of the riding position. Otherwise should I go for the 10mm rise? And in the end, according to your experience, does this make sense? Any suggestions? Thanks.
