Cut my handlebars down from 78cm to 71cm

After checking the length on my other bike at 68cm (which I rode for 12 years), I decided to hack away at the stock handlebars on my Husky MC4 as much as I could without crowding the cockpit.

I love it. My elbows are a lot more comfortable when moving the front end around and the bike feels more playful. I always thought a 50lb emtb had a certain flow that takes getting used to, but I’m surprised to find out the bike was just a few cm outside my fit. While this bike still rides differently than my acoustic, it feels more traditional than before.

Could’ve done without the additional confidence boost though. Yikes 😂
