i think i ride like 16? maybe 16.5's, and i'm about 5 feet tall. sometimes i wanna raise them, sometimes i wanna make them lower. i've never had any back problems, i might be a bit sore after a long day of riding but i've had no real problems yet.

hm... funny idea for a thread
but none the less that's like the second question i always get asked ''doesn't that hurt your back''.
im 5'8 ish and i ride 18 high but i bend my knee's alot, 'hops gotta come from somewhere'

anyway when i started riding like 2 months into it my back started to hurt
so bad that i actually put the scooter up, because i thought that was my problem
someone told me to turn my mattress around,
(since then i got a memory foam)and my back problem disappeared
and i ride as much as i can so i think a bad mattress
can destroy your back more than low bars will

im 6' 1" and i ride 22.5x18

riding doesnt really give me the back problems its flatbottom or bailing from a massive air and your back compresses a lot.

for all you know he has arms to his feet and you have midget arms. no offense. it depends on arm length and height, NOT JUST HEIGHT. i ride 18s and my friend andy (who is my height) rides 19s. i have longer arms. we both stand straight up when we ride.
