Almost finished on my Escapade build, wondering what length/rise stems everyone is using on theirs?
I note the max recommended length is 120mm on the large frame (fair enough), but combined with Midge handlebar I’m being lead to believe that more rise is better, particularly for off road jaunts.
I’m tempted to go 120mmx10degree (I’m 6ft 1″ tall, short legs long torso) , but imagine 100 or 110mm x 10 degrees may do the job nicely.
Trouble is, even with 120mm stems I still see most if not all of the front hub when looking down from the handlebars – the age old measuring technique.
