I have a tendancy to change the length of the stem depending on the riding that i'm doing.

If for example I am just hopping on my bike to ride 2 miles to my Bros house (as I had before the aforemetioned pic was taken) then I have the saddle quite high, no bumps, no roots nothing of any note except a kerb or two to negotiate. I find the raised saddle more comfortable when just comuting from A to B.

When we are "properly" riding tho', on tha trails and through the woods, I drop it right down in order to give me that extra bit of stability and control.

Its what you find comfortable at the end of the day.



God bless quick release
