true but because i am bigger i prefer to be over the rear wheel but still have sharp steering so i run a 440 layback post pushing me further from my bars but i can still run an 80mm stem - works great for me anyhoo but for mtbing i prefer a lively bmx-style ride as i'm rarely in the saddle for more than a morning or an afternoon so comfort isn't an issue - but even 24hr events are ok at a push - as tommy say's - you need to get to a demo day or a local race and hope there are some brand test bikes to have a go on
