Hi,
you might want to put a longer stem on that.
130 already, and going longer isn't about to make any real difference. Prolly the bike, but then it seems all the MTBs I've straddled (that are newer - late90s or newer) seem to be considerably shorter in the top tube than a road bike. And have a higher bar position.
But again, its prolly my bike.
Can't really afford to swap to another bike at the moment, and I'm mostly an offroad weenie with no intent to daring do. Still, I luv ridin a nice trail or fire road for all the woodsie reasons. The forward bend is mostly when I'm ridin a flatish road section.
I will try a longer stem, though
can't hurt
thanks
