I just put a puig on my bike and like it. I think it cut down 50% of the wind or more, and it looks so much better. I was wondering how a persons height affects how well they like the puig screen. I am 5'10" and like it, it may be the taller people who are not seeing as much of an improvement???

Don`t use this type of tubing it does not work and looks awful, it is too big and does not have the grip.
Tell your local bike shop what you want and they will get it. It comes in clear, smoke and chrome and is really cheap and finishes the job off well.
I am 5`9" tall and think there is very little difference between the stock and the Puig apart from the look. Neither protects you from the rain, you still get wet.
The screen I cut down works perfectly, as much by luck than judgement.
I am riding down to France from Denmark on Friday...1300km, and I will leave the short screen on for a week of unbuffetted riding and report back when I return.
You DO NOT need to buy extra screens to practice on because this to do this is easier than you can imagine.
Keep the excess bits of screen. If you want to paint your screen at some stage you can use the spare to practice on.
