I think I still prefer flats but have got used to the rise.
I certainly need it.
The difference for me is the width.
I have more control on the turn now and don't do so many of those sharp turn twist falls!
I still prefer a low bar for an aggressive attacking feel and only use a rise to take me up to a similar position I had with the Carlton.
todd, i was discussing this with ray earlier and am interested. having lowered my saddle a fair bit i am thinking flat bars might also be a good idea. but was thinking whilst making the change i should not cut the flat bars so narrow. so slightly wider for better control right? it seems obvious but good to hear from someone with more exp (erience/ertise).
