Hi lads finding it a bit hard to pop the front wheel up on my Reign.
It doesn’t feel too long I’m. 5’ 10” and its a medium with a 30mm stem.
However my rental bars only have 5mm rise I think virtually flat. The headtube on the Reign us tiny compared to my Boardman I had. Will fitting higher rise bars make the front end a bit lighter to lift ?
Cheers
Based on recent experience of adding 20mm rise to my bars I'd say yes a little bit it's still mostly in the technique I think.
Cheers mate. I didn’t used to have any bother but had an accident and ended up changing bikes while I was healing and this feels a lot more effort. I also do feel a bit too far forward when descending. You are right though technique is the key as red bull rampage lot don’t have any bother lol.
Those bikes have low stack measurements ,so yes I reckon it could really help to get some high rise bars if your already feeling your held downwards too much.
