I’ve had other bikes, all roughly the same size. My last one was a touring bike. I messed with the stem some but never put a longer one on it. This bike rips after putting the longer stem on it. I mean, it felt “quick” before, but it’s very satisfying to thrash now. Any guitarists reading, the touring bike was a Martin acoustic. This bike with the short stem was a Strat with 11s. This bike with the long stem, is like a Jackson with 9s. I just want to feel like the only reason I’m going to hurt my body is by crashing into other objects because I’m riding too fast. Repetitive use injuries are real, and I’m not old but I’m not getting younger. Thought I would ask the wizards.
