Bars too high?

I ordered my Vertx bars 24in high so that I could cut them down if I felt the need to. I have a proto SCS so my bars are 26in at the moment. I'm 6'1 so I need taller bars, but I think 26 is too high. Anyone around my height, what do you ride? I want to cut them down, but I'm scared I might go too low. I was going to go 1in at a time and when they feel good stop, but I feel this is sort of a gamble. Anyone have any opinions on what height my bars SHOULD be? Or any suggestions on what to do to decide what height?

im 5'10 and ride 22H, you're 4 inches taller than me so it should make sense you want 26H. but i have shorter bars than most. ride it out for at least a week and see if you still want to cut them down

Alot of people like to ride their bars around or a little lower/higher than their waist area.

That's a good idea. It just worries my that I've heard of no one riding 26in bars hahah. But I suppose what ever feels the best, right? They feel a little too high so I'll try em another day then cut them an inch if I still feel they're too tall.

Well, Seeing how you're a foot and one inch taller than me and I ride 19.35
I think its a pretty good size.

I ride my bars 23 high and I am 5' 10". I wish they were 24. You will definitely feel if you need to cut your bars. When my bars were too tall, I would loop out landings a lot.
Just find your comfort zone by experimenting.

I wish I had a friend who rode like 24 to try them, but I have no scooterbuddies :'( I think I'll give it a bit more time. I don't wanna cut them too short.

I cut them down about 3/4 of an inch. You'd think it wouldn't make much difference, but they feel sooo nice now.

I'm 6'0" and I ride 25.5 tall bars. They're perfect for me. As I see it, you should be able to fully grip your bars (tightly) when standing on your scoot straight up (back not bent).
