Had a bad fall on my dirt hip yesterday. Hit some loose dirt bars went sideways and got me in the spleen area on the left side of my stomach I mean really good, like 2 foot bruise and a large red welt. My whole body weight of almost 200 pounds went into the sharp in of the bars on the end of the down transition. I have Shadow Crowbars heat treated with the tear drip top bar. It’s a great bar but for a while I’ve felt they are too long for my type of riding with street and dirt being home to me what is the right bar length I’m 6’3” and have a Subrosa Rose frame I believe 21.5 and 13.2 chain stay some 32mm offset Subrosa tapered forks I forget the name of etc etc whatever just looking for advice. I posted a picture of the set up for posterity.
