When/why should someone get riser bars?
I am thinking about getting some riser bars (about 35mm) because I struggle to get the front wheel up and over obstacles, don't have a very flexible back but my bars are lower than my extended seat, and I notice when riding my palms seem to really hurt like I am pushing against my bars the whole time.
What I worry about though is that I currently feel like I struggle committing to corners going fast as if my weight isn't forward enough and that if I risers it will just make this worse as I will have even less weight on the front and will wash out more in corners. This could be poor technique too though.
Thoughts?
