Evening guys,
Old bars 50mm rise, 680mm width
New bars 20mm rise, 760mm width
Current stem 12mm rise, 90 length
Steering is way superior, climbing, descending, lots more control. The downside its put my weight too far forward over the front wheel, harder to hang off the back, more pressure on wrists, bars just feel too low.
I'm going to try a 70mm stem, but what rise 0* or 20*?
Will the 70mm / 0* be enough to fix my position, or will 70 / 20* rise be worth it too due to loss of bar height?

Looks like 20 for sure then, given the new bars have 30* less rise than old bars?
The other option was keep the 90mm stem, and get another set of wide bars but with 50mm rise.
