Stem length -Help

Guys,

I want to put a shorter stem on my Giant Trance X1 thats got a 110mm stem.Trouble is I don't know whether to go for a 70mm or 90mm and will 20mm make that much of a difference??.
At 70 quid a pop I obviously want to get the decision right, so any advice would be greatly appreciated on the different lengths and what they have to offer.

Cheers
Darren

Darren,

Are your bars oversized or standard. Try before you buy, I have a 90mm I could lend you first if it helps.

I believe they are oversized Gav,If you got something that would fit that would be great

what sort of riding do you do?

Mainly XC up the woods, the odd jump and a trail center every now and then
The bike is definately an XC/Trail bike though....

Try the 90m stem stay away from the 70mm as that's to short for the riding you do, unless ofcourse your a midget....

Ah oversized is it?

Fizz has an oversized stem in the draw but I think its 100mm? If you'd still like to try it I'll dig it out and send it along with her on Sunday if you're about?

Thanks Superflyjim, I think I will go for a 90mm sounds about right for me.
At 6ft I might struggle to pass for a midget!

Cheers for the offer Gav, but i think I'm going to go ahead and get a 90mm next week.

Thanks again guys

Darren
