Matt Vandart Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I had a 110mm 10* hope stem on my Ashton at first it felt ok, put a trial tech 110x 25* (or 20 cant remember) and it was much better. Loved that frame just too long for me to really get my ass back far enough for lunges and shit and just could not get the weight down low enough for my puny old muscles to ride all day. I find I need a bike sub 10.5kg for all day riding (8-12hrs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find I need a bike sub 10.5kg for all day riding (8-12hrs) Thanks for the advice Matt , pretty much the stem i was looking at , but would want 100mm. weight is pretty good even though im running gears , will get a weight up this week .
