Also it's not just pullback and height, but wrist angle. There are sooooo many variations it would be impossible for someone to say that brand 'x' bars are perfect, you should get them. Some people prefer a hand grip position that is flat (like drag bars), some more like a wheel barrow (beach bars for example). It really is up to the individual as to what is comfortable, not what other people say is good for them.


cheers

Pull back is the wrist angle. This is the distance measured from the ends of the bars to the line of the base.

The more pullback, the greater the wrist angle will be.
Picture the bars laying on a table with the ends facing up.
Pullback is the distance from the ends to the table. If you took the ends and were able to twist them closer to each other the pull back would be a larger number and the wrist angle will increase.

Any bar except drag bars can be rotated closer or further away from the rider and does not effect the pull back measurement.
