Hi Folks.

Had my crm Mk2 for 5 Years now, Ive bought a few other bikes for the trail that are supposed to be better but I still always come back to my old faithfull. One thing I have problems with is in the riding position when stood up, I always feel as if I am hanging on the bars, I feel as if I need the bars higher and further forward or mabey footrests further back, any ideas ?.

I had noticed that phenomenon when my eldest lad had a MKI, we were prior to him selling it going to try some of those bar risers in there.I think they are made by a Canadian Company, google search maybe ?
The AR i ride has ergos, that feel far more modern, and comfortable.

Hi

I have bar risers which are adapted handlebar clamps, they raise the bar about 20-25mm, for me (5'9") its great.

Thanks for the the tips folks, Im going to check out and see if I have any old handlebar clamps to raise my bars, I will hopefully get out on the trail this afternoon and try it. P.S My crm is a Mk 3, must of had a senior moment !

Any way welcome all the same, it is a CRM you have isn't it
