I have a 2021 Ragley Mmmbop that I built up from a frame, with a 160mm pike.
It’s great when going downhill, it’s great when going uphill,
The problem I have is when its bimbling along the canals on level terrain for any length of time.
With the seat up at optimum pedalling height, it feels like I’m going to fall over the bars at any moment, and I’m having problems with the ulnar nerves in my hands
I’ve tried moving the seat back and forward, and have fitted higher rise bars, but has made little to no difference.
Its currently got a DMR Defy 35 stem on, it’s super short and has a really low stack height, allowing be to run more spacers under the stem.
But am I going about it wrong, should I be looking at a longer stem, even if the stack height will be lower?
I’ve googled the hell out of it, and only got myself more confused that I was originally.
Am I just going to have to order every stem, and handlebar on CRC and try them all?
Help!
