Sounds a silly question and I'm sure i'll get abused for it ๐Ÿ˜•

I'm finding my current EA50's are too high on my 29er and need to get some lower rise bars. Cant remember for the life of me whether the Eaton's are low or mid rise when I bought them and need to measure in order to judge for next purchase.

I'm guessing the rise is measured from centre of clamp point but unsure where to measure to...Grips level/where the bar bend comes in??

Anyone know for sure where the exact measurement should be taken?

Unfortunately in my experience it appears to depend on the manufacturer!

I think Easton measure the rise from centre clamp to where the bar bend comes in. Pretty sure they write low or mid rise onto the bars as part of the markings under the clamp so could be an easy check.
