I'm still waiting for my delivery of skills that was meant to come with my Process.

Sorry boet, it was accidentally delivered to my house. Sadly it was some lower grade crap. My fokollie gehelp.

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. 

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."

He did of course crash hard despite his 740mm bars. It looked like he needs special short pedal cranks too... Its not only tree trunks, its roots as well!

And the first proper test on 650+ vs 29... Yes, Peaty had one in BPW a while back, but the results weren't as well documented amongst the racers. 

 

Very interesting indeed.

bikehub legend speaks of a Hubber called "mongooser" and his "too big for him" Morewood.

 

Perhaps you can make him a deal he can't refuse.

Should be here by midweek.
