Hmm yea. Was thinking something like this, short stem and slamming the saddle rails back, but the (ex cat-... racer) manager at the shop was really against me shortening the stem, that it’d throw me more upright in general. He was more into negative rise and cut-down bars for the aeroz.
Yea got a QR but also, lazy.
Short stems definitely help with this kind of stuff. I used to run a 110mm? xc stem for racing and when I started doing dumb shit found a stumpy 50mm much easier to get onto the back wheel.
