  • Hey, bit of a dredge, what did you do stem length wise when swapping from drops to flat bar on your AWOL?

    I'm pondering the same move on mine, but due to the long top tube, wondering if moving from a 70 to 90 stem to account for the reach will feel a bit odd.

  • Hi!

    I went to an 80 stem and iirc the handling was alright. I think too long in combination with a wide bar could get weird. A more upright position is natural with a flat bar anyway, and the wide bar will compensate by moving you a bit forward as your arms move away from you to the sides.

    Get experimental with parts from the bin before ordering something expensive :)
