I'd like to get just a wee bit more upright. I have higher risers and stuff - just need bars that go slightly more back. Any thoughts?

make sure the cables reach at full lock...


also you may want a new screen if you end up with buffeting...

Already have longer cables and lines and a higher screen.

I'm still just a tad but too leaned over (I guess I have short arms) so I was wondering what bars would get me just a wee bit back more.

that's going backwards.

I yanked the clip-ons off and put N risers and bars on along with SW Motech risers. They're pretty upright but I want just a little more.

Wonder if I can use that in conjunction with the existing risers...

you'd probably end up with a lot of "twist" if you were pushing it... I just wouldn't want to be as "disconnected" as I think you'd feel doubling up like that
