Shoulder width is great. Even a little wider is pretty comfortable.

Trust me, every inch and .5cm makes a difference. I've ridden 18s, 17.5s, and 16. I'm 5'3. Right now I'm riding 16s because I'm doin a lot more barspin combos (i.e. bar to whip. Bar to finger whip.) But I rode 17.5w district al1s and 18w lucky pry bars and I can feel the difference. Especially height. I'm riding 19h and 16w.

Ok yeah Im kinda stuck wide bars feel more comfordable to me. not so wide bars dont get in the way of barspins and stuff. Ive only been scootering since the day I joined scooter resource so I land like 1/25 barspins sketchy ones. For some weird reason 17.5in sounds perfect If I want 16s ill cut them

I dont know - I've ridden 19 wide for a year now, and i still struggle to catch bars. I'm going down to either 16 or 17 soon. You'll be suprised how much difference an inch makes - i went from 18 wide rup bars to my 19s now, and it made tucks and flowy park tricks soooooo much easier, but I ride more flat and simple street, so I struggle (especially as I'm really quite thin with 15" wide shoulders).

15 wide shoulders should just have 16 or 17 i guess. 19 is waayyy to wide
