    Liking the bike info vids hadn’t thought about bar flex but yeah also I feel bottom bracket height changes how high your bars feel if your bbh goes down a 1/4 inch it will feel like your bars are that much bigger anyway keep the good work coming enjoying the bike tech

      Depends on your height, proportions, frame size and so on...
      Just start with taking off a quarter or maybe a half inch per side and see how it feels. Don't overdo it though, in the end it's about learning the technique and timing.
