• If my bike has a 100mm stem and drop bars and I change them to a wide MTB riser with the same stem length, is the bike likely to feel shorter?

    Wanted to join that hybrid life for a while now, but broken collarbone might get along better with a bicycle that's not as long in the tooth. Could be time to switch

  • I think it depends on the width of the new bar. Too wide could make it uncomfortable. I'd aim for somewhere around 700mm and the raise the bars too, effectively shortening the reach.
