i was thinking about putting risers on the beater i'm building, but i have reservations.

as i understand, they offer a more relaxed arm position. depending how low i get on my bars, i shift my ass back on the saddle accordingly, which takes mostly all the weight off of my arms. i would think that having all my weight on the saddle and my legs would be uncomfortable after a while. i think that i might shift my weight to my arms to temporarily alleviate this and end up getting wrist and arm pain.
