Hey dudes, I need some part opinions.

My BMX came with Fly Mosca 9B bars, and I have to say, I'm chafing. They have a 23in. width and 6.9in. rise, both of which arent really gelling with me- I'm 5'9 and somewhat new to BMX, used to at least 24'in. wheels.
So I've narrowed down my choices to bars with between 7.2 and 8in. of rise, and 25 to 27in wide. What would you recommend? I was looking at the United Squad, WTP Lock Stock, Fly Luna, and Colony Unlucky 13 bars. Any help would be appreciated! Peace!

I'd get the Mutiny Glams. 8.125" Rise, 28" Wide and about 1.5 - 1.6l lbs and feel really awesome.

Yeah i'd go for the pa's, so light but still really strong. Plus going straight to something like a fit sky high would be a huge jump, the pa's are a more reasonable sized bar. I have kink badgers and their the same 8x27 size as the pa's and their really comfortable.

Get out the level!

...or whatever you would use to tell if they were straight or not.

Word on the net is that Animal is going to re-vamp them. They are going to make them stronger and wider... Smile

Ew. No. 25" is plenty wide, thank you. I'm fine with them re-vamping them as long as they don't make the box wider. I want to cut mine down to 24.5" but then I'd have no room for levers.

Why not make them widder? That means it will appeal to the trendies meaning more people will have the awesomeness that is the Bob Bars. Even if you don't like them, you could always cut them.
