Ok this handelbar thing is drivin me nuts!!!

Im 5'7" normal sized if that matters but i dont know what height/width/pullback to get for a 300ex.

I would prefer Standard Renthals or Protaper

Or anyother brand such as the smaller Turner brands and such, i dont really care about names, sometimes i buy stuff i never heard of just to c how good it is...(hey someone had to buy the first renthals)

So help me out here!!

CR High bend with an extended stem or CR Double High with a stock stem are good choices.

I'm about the same height as you but ride a 400EX and I run a Mini High bend. I don't know what type of riding you do but the higher bends are nice if you do a lot of stand-up riding. I used to run a lower bend bar and it killed my back being bent over, not to mention cramped my riding position in the air while doing jumps. The higher bends straighten you out and put you in a more natural "attack" riding position.

If you do more sit-down riding then I would recommend just the CR High bend with a stock stem.
