I was just wondering what stem & Fasst bar combos everyone was running. For example: +2 stem & Quad Racer Fasst Bars. I would like to know everyones height and type of riding they do also. The reason for all of this is that I purchased a set of Quad Racer 31" wide, 116mm tall, and 14 degree sweep yesterday for my quad. I really didn't think before I purcahsed these about the height issue. I have been running a +2 stem with Tag T2 CR High Bend bars forever now. Well the Tags are 95mm tall and the Fasst are 116 tall (13/16" difference). I am affraid the Fasst bars will be too tall to get low on the quad when needed. I only ride MX and there are times I'm just about sitting on the nerf when banging in and out of corners. I am trying to decide if I should try to return them in exchange for the Dana Creech style that are the same as the original Quad Racer ones, except they are only 92mm tall.

i think you just answered your own question........ and in preparation for a set of flexxs i sold my +2 stem and bought a +1 stem so i could run those bars.... and not be to high....

I think I will keep my +2 stem and just go with the 92mm high Fasst bars. That will be 1/8" less in height compaired to the Tag T2's.

I just changed out my LSR +1 stem for my Janssen +3 stem because it is much more comfortable! Also i am only 5'11.5" tall
