I'm currently running a 65mm stem but wondered what others are using.
Thinking of trying/buying a 50mm stem, I know the bike won't climb as well but I mainly use it trail centres and Chicksands so don't do any excessive climbing, I also have dual position forks to help uphill.
Some feedback would be muchly appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚

I've got anASR-C of similar vintage, size medium and I'm 5'11". I use a 90mm stem if that's any help.

What width bars are you running?
Especially if they're on the narrow side, and if the bike is on the compact side already, I'd say if you do, you ought to go wider bars as well, to offset the sharper steering and shorter cockpit

I've got uncut Renthal Fatbar Lites, 740mm
I'm only 5/9 inches tall if that makes any difference.
