cut to 25, and then if you dont like it cut to 24. If you cut straight to 23 then you cant reverse what you've done

Yea right now i think im running 20s with like a 1inch+ spacer so is there any disadvantage to high bars

also if i cut them to 25 high do you think i can get away with keeping then 22 wide or would cutting then down a bit be a good idea

I would keep 22 wide. Anything less just feels too small
ight thx devin i hope i like em I could have gotten sentry bars but i wanted to try something without backsweep and t bars just seem like they would be nice and easier with barspins

ight update sorry if it is to late i just measured myself im 5,4 and a half i find that 24 is to tall im thinking 22.5 to 23 should i cut width down from 22 ? or just keep it there i read somewhere that you dont wanna ride bars that are wider than taller any weight to this

my bars are wider than taller, its really personal preference. Look at Brandon James, his are 26.5 wide by 23 high
