Gee, life is rough sometimes. Given what I've been dealing with lately, I'm think I can handle the challenge

Stem... oh yeah, that reminds me that I need to swap out the stem on my Kaitai. Got a 60mm, 10 degree on it now and I'm going to give a 60mm, 25 degree stem a try. My elbows are just a little too straight when I ride. Can't see where raising the bar up a bit can hurt.

Definitely can't hurt.

I'll attach them again but on the road bike- 2 pics. One of when I got the bike and rode like that for 6 months-except for the pedals and the other is now. The bars raised to be level with the Saddle made the bike a lot more comfortable so get the stem right before you leave the shop-And the wheels
