Does that go on the back of a Land Rover? Think I saw it a few days ago...

If you remember, I did say that there's a 740mm lower limit in my personal acceptability ratings, and a 60mm stem is within my 70mm limit. No crisis here, though it is on the far edge of what I'd personally recommend.

Don't tell Myles. 740mm bar with 60mm stem *shock horror EWS wins*

Renthal take care of Richie's cockpit, and his choice of parts seem to shun current fashion. At 5'11" he uses a medium sized frame with a 60mm stem, along with his mechanic Shaun Hughes, they have been testing out large frames but always settle on the medium. Bars are seemingly narrow but Shaun said: "If you look at Richie's hands you will see he has massive scabs on his fingers, he seems to hit trees a lot even with the 740mm. It's another safety thing, narrower bars will work with all different tracks around the world, he's used to them now and doesn't seem to be struggling with them."

According to Giant's marketing spiel, this latest iteration will allow riders to "climb like an XC racer and descend like an enduro pro."

 

 

Daar's inderdaad niks nuut onder die son nie.

Order's in. If it'll make me ride like Richie Rude or Yoann Barelli, it's worth it... 

 

:P
