Why would I lower my handlebars?

[trista]

I dunno.

Why would you?

If you are happy and are using the entire bar and life is good... leave it be.

If you feel cramped and the need to stretch, or if you are very concerned about aerodynamics, or if you feel you get more power and happiness from your glutes by having more hip flexion, I guess you could lower the bars or toss in a longer reach stem.

But really, if you feel good, leave it be.

That's what I was looking for - thank you! I wondered if I was limiting myself in some way or something. There are still two spacers I could take out, but I will leave them for now, since I have no reason to move them.

Why didn't you ask him?

OMG he was spewing out so much information my head was spinning. I wish I would have, but I was probably still asking questions from two topics prior, lol.
