How do you determine your bar height?

stand straight up and reach for your bars, when you grab them that is your natural height.

depending on what kind of tricks you do you could raise or lower it a bit to compensate for them.

in that case 26" high for me, as it is on my cruiser. Doesn't apply.

I rode:
- 16" stocks when i begun riding
- moved to 18" stocks,
- then 18x16 rads
- then 20x18 wees
- now 21x18 which feels perfect for me for park riding.

I wanted to move onto 22x20 which is really comfortable to ride flat/street,
but it feels waaay weird to ride up ramps in park, so i stayed at 21x18.
