I got an 18 inch five, was running a 90mm stem with original bars which due to the huge sweep back was ok. After changing the bars to easton monkey lite i need a shorter stem. was thinking 70mm, my question therefore is what are other guys running?

Hi mines 18 inch frame with a thomsom 90×10 deg and a set of easton monkey
lite DH bars , with no spacers under the stem . i'am 5'10 if that helps.

im 6ft and ride an 18 inch frame with a 50mm stem and 30 inch bar. i do like shorter stems though.

i have orange 5 with Easton monkey lite bars too…. i have the smallest sized frame 14 inch (cos im a dwarf at 5ft small.! lol)

5ft 5, 16" 50 stem with rise, (but am thinking of 70)

6'2", size 18" frame, 90mm stem, inline post, Easton EA70 bars.

5'11'' running an 18 frame. Used to have 90mm stem with 130mm forks but recently changed to Pikes (140mm) which left the steering too slow. Now have 70mm stem. Easton EA70 alloy bars, 2 inch rise. And inline seatpost… fits good for me 🙂

5'10" with an 18 frame, 90mm Thomson stem, Easton Monkeylites, inline post and 20mm of spacers under stem

Iainc, is your riding more downhill/jumping based? and is that the 90mm 10degree rise?

5'10" 18" frame 60mm stem – 40mm was hella fun downhill but rubbish in the climbs…

got a 70mm 6deg rise on order, just not convinced it will have enough grip when cornering.

the other choice is 90mm 10 deg rise that i can take off another bike.
