This, i've ridden friends bikes with 8.5 rise bars and I hated it. I myself like 8.25. I'm also 5' 4'' so I don't need tall bars.

I dont say stupid things, just no one knows what im talking about.

I had 8.3 at first then went to 8.5 and manuals felt wired for like a day and then you can't feel shit but I'm getting bigger bars soon cuz I'm tired of being hunched over on my bike all the time.

I find more of a difference in upsweep change than any other change to bars.

How tall are you?

It really will depend on what you get used to. Right now I'm riding 8 rise but since i bent my bars I'm gunna switch to 8.5 rise and see if I like it. I agree with gump i think upsweep will make quite a bit of difference as well.
