Got a Dialled Prince Albert - used as hack bike and commuter. Large frame and i'm over 6ft. i feel like a gorilla on a tricycle. Maybe I've got used to full suss 29er with wider bars, but just don't feel right on it. Advice:
- Currently have long 100mm stem and 660 bars - which feel narrow (got used to wider bars). Suggestions for stem and bar length combos.
- Also I need more sky in my rounds. 2.1 Nobby Nics feel thin. Balloony tyres?
Ideas appreciated.
I'm 6ft1 on a large Prince Albert. Running a 60mm stem with 750mm wide bars. 2.3 Specialized Butcher on the front and a Purgatory on the rear. Works for me!
Everyones different - I run 800mm bars and a 35mm stem on my ht and it feels great (6'2). Put the bits off your full sus on it to start with and see how it feels
£20 for some 760mm bars https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/ragley-wiser-riser/rp-prod122300
Tenner for a 60mm brand x stem on crc. Should be good enough for a hack/commuter bike.
Thanks all v helpful - especially Gringo - similar size and same bike!
I´m 6ft...PA in large,handlebar 800mm, hope freeride stem 75mm,2,4 tyres,
fits perfect...meanwhile my commuter,
and in a more used condition after all the years...
good to see these dialled bikes still used.
this one is also still in use !! really like it, PA LT proto...
same specs according to stem and bars like the other one..
