Are Yaffe 12" Monkey bars taller than advertised?
Looking to replace my stockers with these, but heard they were taller... Is this true?

I have the 14s and they are closer to 16. I haven't measured the 12s but also heard they're closer to 14"

The 12's are closer to 14's. I'm 5'9" and love my 12" monkey bars

Ya fee meaures differently than others, my 10's measure 12". I thought they sent me the wrong ones at first.
I don't have monkey bars though, I have the bragger apes.

I'm not sure what kind of ruler he was using when designing his bars, but yes, my 10" Monkey Bagger Bars measure out at 12". Had I known that in the beginning I probably would have went with the 8". But I'm fine with the 10's.

i'm 5'7" and have the 12", perfect for me...big improvement from stock ergo perspective...makes the ride much more enjoyable...just slightly above the fairing.

Dugan,
Can you provide photos of bars?
With the 10" bars are your hands above the fairing?
Did you have to change or lengthen your stock cables?

My hands are right at the top of the fairing. Wind on them is no issue. I used a +3 clutch cable but it's been noted that stock cables will work.

Yeah that 12 looks like the way to go, and you shouldn't have to replace lines on those if I'm not mistaken.
