  • I have 90mm stem on my size small Look 586. I sometimes knock my knees on the bars when giving it beans out the saddle during hill climbs. Should I get a 100mm or a 110mm to avoid the problem? It's the summer bike too so has to be good for 100km+ weekend rides. The fit has been good for two years with a 90mm.

    I'm probably skinnier and more flexible than I've ever been.

  • Give it a try, stems can be had so cheap so easy to try before you buy. I had my fit done with a 90mm stem, was happy for a few years, but as my flexibility improved I started to feel cramped. Switched to 100mm and it's been great. Been a few years on that now and will probably try adding another 10mm soon.

  • I have a friend who's getting a nice Ritchey stem wholesale, it's a one shot deal though - need to decide. I guess from your story 100mm would be right, for now.
