hi, I started putting together my 456Evo size 18". I am 182cm (cca 6"0) and will run a 150mm sektor. I want this bike to be an AM/Trail bike good for both uphill and downhill and everything in between. I want to run cca 710mm to 740mm handlebars. what would be better, a 50mm stem or a 70mm stem?
I have heard that 50mm will be horrible for climbing while I have read that the 456Evo is suited to stems from 40-60mm. I am looking at the PRO FRS stem and it only comes in 50 or 70mm. I forgot to order the on one CNC 60mm stem so am opting from local choices. The PRO stuff seems by far the best for the price.
any suggestions on stem sizing? I am coming from a hardcore XC bike (zaskar expert) with 100 mm stem, would the 70 be better or should i just go straight to 50 and it wont sacrifice the climbing?
thanks.
