Depends on how you ride really. There's a lot of stuff at Thetford where it helps to ride out of the saddle, so the higher gear would help. 40 x 17 would be a bit tough in places.

Save the really low gears for your 24hr solo ;-)

One more question*, Oracle of Dirt...

Should I keep the long stem on that has me pretty stretched out for road riding or swap to a stumpy little 50mm to add some off road twitch and make bunnyhopping and shit a bit easier?

Stick with what your body's used to, I reckon. What do you currently have on there?
