    Hi all,

    I’m purchasing a new road bike which has a racier geometry than my old bike with a reach of 390 vs. 384. The comfortable stem length on my old bike was 100mm and I need to decide on the new stem length – would you recommend offsetting the increased reach by getting a 90mm stem on the new bike? The other option is to go for a 110mm stem.

    I’ll get it fitted properly, but need to take a stab at the best guess for the inital order.

     

    Thanks

    You could try the new bike

    You could try the new bike and if its too much and becomes uncomfortable then get the 90mm fitted.

    Fitting a stem is usually the simpliest of jobs unless it has a suspension or integrated wiring.
