Yup, 16s. It depends on how far you tilt them forward though...

Rule for apes.

Once you decide, add 2 inches.

I agree

Buy bars you can return, pull the old ones off the clamps and put the new ones in. If they are not high enough reclamp the old ones and return and buy the ones you want.

Do you mean 16s are closer to you and 14s can move forward more? with the windsheid on that is.

I'm 6' and decided to go with 14s. I have regretted it ever since. The 14s are nice but I would prefer 16s or maybe even 18s. For your height, don't go lower than 16".
