Hello everyone
I was planing to buy new bar for my bmx bike
And its either jake seeley bar or shadow vultus sg bars
I am aware that 4 piece bars breaks faster but am not the kind of bmxers that drop of a building am still in the 360 / full cab zone so both would probably last me a good time
HOWEVER iam 183 cm tall or 6 foot
IF i bought the shadow bar they will be a 9 inch
And if i bought the sunday bar they will be a 9,5 inch because thats whats available in my local store
Help would be much appreciated !😊

I’m 5″10 (178cm) and ride 10″ bars with front load stem and just 5mm of spacers + conical headset, depending of how much spacers and what type of stem you ride, either will do. It will also depend of what you like riding.
Tho, i would recommend the 10″
I’m around 5’7 and I run a 9.5 Animal 4some bars and has worked for me for almost 8 years now.
Between the 2, I’d go 9.5″
Street sweepers feel great, upsweep is always nice
I just picked up some Eclat 9.5″ Controller 4pc bars and I’m loving them. I’m the same height as you. Previously I was riding Odyssey 49er’s, no idea why I chose 9″ bars as a 6 foot person.
I run 10s. A giant spacer and 9.5s would be my next move if I had to
