How longs your stem? I've got a 100mm at the mo and struggling to think what'd be best, Currently its not great for lofting the front wheel off a drop 😆
50 at first, then went to 60 as i was feeling cramped. all is good.
70mm on a a large here. I'm 6'3". If i was doing long xc rides, i may put a 90mm on sometimes.
Large frame, 6ft tall, currently 90mm but getting a 70mm soon to try that out. I'm also hoping that it compensates for my (lack of) skill on front wheel lifts.
had a 70mm but now 90mm,seems more balanced for my size and technique{6'1 large frame}
70mm here on a medium. 5'9".
Originally had 100mm and the 70mm feels much better.
Originally had an 80 mm with standard bars which was great, but now rocking a 70 mm with OS bars. I tried a 90 for a few months but found the steering too slow - I found I was going round cornmers before the bike and unweighting the rear too much
70, then put longer forks on and a 50mm stem. Felt all floppy and DH at first but used to it now.
Medium, 70mm for me, 5'7". A nice blance between handling and comfort.
5'11" running a 100mm on a large frame will Maverick Speedball layback post - find it perfect.
5'11''
large frame
70mm stem - but with wide bars (about 700mm plus I think)
6', Large 2008 Heckler, Fox 36s, 60mm stem, wouldn't want to go much longer. I really can't imagine throwing a 100m job on there. Hasn't the whole world stopped using stems that long on bikes like this?
And yes, it rides up hills and round swichbacks and slow speed technical stuff just fine.
5ft10, Medium Heckler, 50mm stem. Its too short for longer rides. I want to try a 70.
Sounds like 70 is about bang on the money.
I had a 100mm on my ex-2003 L, I am no hucker though.
6'2" large 03 Heckler I got a 100x16deg stem so equivalent to about an 95x0 and it's pretty good, can wheelie/bunny hop it fairy well an it's not too short for pedalling and climbing. I guess I should go shorter, going to try a 70x0 with wider bars as soon as I can be bothered fitting it, dont wanna gimp it for pedalling tho.
Just found this http://www.njtrails.com/stemLengthCalcBeta.php
dunno whether this is any good, cant see it from this PC
6'1" with a large heckler and i have a 90x15 stem
