Hi Folks,
Just thought that I would ask if anyone had any advice on a shorter stem for my Reign ?

Currently have Race Face 90mm / 6 deg rise and want to go shorter to help with more technical, steeper descents and improve balance. I am thinking Hope 50 or 70, but before I spend my money, I would like to hear from anyone who has a Reign (or similar) to get a view !

To complete the picture, I am running Fox Talas 36 RC2 forks & 1" Low Riser bars !

Cheers !

    Thanks Nik
    I have spoken with my LBS and they have kindly offered to let me borrow a couple of short stems off either demo / their own bikes for the day. The only drawback is that I will have to take a day off in the week when things are not so busy !
