Cotic don't recommend anything shorter than a 60mm stem on the Solaris, but I stuck a 35mm stem (with 120mm forks and 740mm bars) on mine today and quite liked it. Just wondering if anybody had longer experience with such a set up and how they found it.

I've run a 35mm stem on my Solaris for about nine months and it's been fine (same bar length and forks as you)

Thanks, that's reassuring. My only concern was that the front wheel seemed prone to tucking under. But that was pushing the bike through gates rather than riding it. Good to hear that it's not been a problem for you in nine months.
