I have the Verde Neyer bars and a Sunday Freeze TL stem making my bars about 10'' high, Is this too high? I am 5'5'' and have been told it is and it isn't so im not sure. If so I'll Probably switch to a FL stem.

whatever feels good for you to ride, personally 10inch bars feels to big and im 6'1. i prefer 9inch bars or slightly higher.
i have found 10 inch bars are easy to pull up to manual but it makes my bunny hops harder to do and easier to hit you're chin on the bar if you crash.

I'm 6' and ride 9" bars with a credence topload. It feels about right for me but took me a long time to get into the high bars game. It's about personal preference really, but it sounds like you'd be better off with lower bars. Lower bars are more stable imo

Cool so how high does that make your bars?
