stack height - comfort?

freeride-mike

Does changing the stack height under your stem make much difference to the ride position like when u change stem length and and angle??

thanks for any advice

some specs mite help lol

current stem no rise 90mm length - old stem 60mm length 20 rise

20mm spacer below stem 10mm above, will putting the 10mm above make much difference as i'd rather not fit the old stem

Well, it'll raise the handlbars by 10mm. The best bet is to try it and see.

Only takes minutes to do and you might like it... Always surprises me how few people spend time just idly fannying about with their bikes, sometimes you can get a real result. Other times you'll horribly screw it up But you can always put it back.

You cannot add spacers - only swap them around.

From personal experiance mroe spacers under the stem is more comfortable but less gives a racier position.

On my old bike I had 35mm of spacers under my stem but on my new one I have 25mm because I am starting to like a slightly racier position
