So, the stem is 125mm. Thinking a 100mm stem and an inline post and bike will be perfect fit.
Really enjoying riding it, it's fast on the roads and pretty good off them. Climbing fairly short/steep/rooty/dusty climb earlier on it absolutely flew up. Downhill on drops will stake some getting used to... the brakes are great though, 1 finger is all you need for a pretty abrupt stop.
One thing is the headset keeps coming loose, I don't have a torque wrench and am a bit wary of pulling the star nut out of the fork, does this happen alot with carbon steerers? also do I need to be v careful with the stem bolts on the steerer? (forgive my ignorance, always been a steel or alu rider in the past)
