current set-up....
17" rockhopper, rigid carbon fork (44.5 a-c)
90mm stem with +8 rise & 660mm wide flat bar with 3 degree sweep
now I found that I felt far to forward and low over the front end of the bike and didn't enjoy the riding position at all for my commute
I am looking at buying the 30mm riser bars by ritchey on merlin which will bring me up nicely due to the rise, am I right in thinking the 9 degree sweep of the ritchey bars compare to the 3 degree of my current bars will bring the grip position back by circa 2-3cm??
cheers
