extreme 0 #1 April 20, 2004 Hi, I know this is old question but new rigs and new solutions are coming and I'm interested before ordering what is the best combination for me by your opinion and what are the diferences today between 18", 20" and 22" risers and mini, large tyoe 8 or 17 three ring. My weight is 200 lbs. and my main is 150 sqft. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #2 April 20, 2004 22", Type 17, 3-ring. Judging by your 200 pound weight, you are a big boy and should easily be able to grab your slider, even with 22" risers. Shorter risers are meant for people with shorter arms. For example, I am 6' tall and weight 185 pounds and have 22" risers on one of my rigs and 24" risers on my other rig.

jmfreefly 0 #3 April 20, 2004 There is really no 'best' combination for anyone. They are all tradeoffs. Riser length is dependent on: how long your arms are if you need to reach your slider, and the brake settings compared with your height. I think generally, the longest riser you can still reach your slider with is the one to get. mini vs. standard depends on: what your rig has on it. If you have small rings on your rig, you can't use large ringed risers. If you are buying rig/risers together, then the mfg will make sure they match. Most often small rings go with type 17, and large on type 8, but I have seen mini rings on type 8, which looked pretty strange to me. Type 8 vs 17 is pretty much weight based (and fashion based for some people). j Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
