I've been wondering what other peoples preferences are on the size of handlebars. i have recently started riding 28 inch bars and i dont think ill ever use a smaller size again

No less than 28's, but Eastern just came out with a set of bars called "The Wonder Years" that are 9" tall and 30" wide im thinking of trying.

I always cut mine down so the grips stop just before the bend. Usually about 24.5"-25". I like bars with a big bend but cut down.

i'm 31 years old, i've been cutting my bars to 26 inches since i was like 14. that's just where i like em.

10 years ago kids laughed at me because my bars were soooooo wide. now kids are like "dude, why are your bars so skinny?"

ride what you like, not what the trend is
