Hi,
Just after some help I have a 2009 stumpjumper ht I put a 720mm Easton Carbon bar on it with a 60mm stem but what I finding at the Moment is the front end is lifting on climbs very easy would it be worth me trying a 90mm stem?
By the way I mainly ride Xc
Thanks

why did you put the shorter stem on the bike in the first place?
what width bar/stem length did you have before.
if you are happy with the way the bike handles on everything other than steep climbs then just move your weight further forward.0 -

The stem came with the bike as it was 2nd hand.
I've tried putting weight over the front but the I'm losing grip on back.
I hadn't thought about changing the spacer positions as I'm still fairly new to the bike scene0 -
Try taking out a couple spacers and move them above the stem.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Ok I'll give it a try, will it effect the bike in any other way. ie more grip in corners on front wheel etc0
-
If you weight is more over the front it may give the front tyre more grip as it's pushing into the ground0
