Rapunzel Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Our smallest sprog has outgrown her 20" bike. We're sitting with a Titan 24 9er (24" frame with 26" wheels) which she'd love to use but the reach is too long. The saddle height can easily be adjusted but the bike already has an 80mm stem and the reach is too much for her to steer or brake properly.Any suggestions? (other than buying a 24" which all appear to be much of a muchness in terms of specs)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Reduce the stem length to a 40mm jobbie.

Ampandy Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Length of forearm with elbow on nose of seat and middle finger to be in the centre of stem between steerer tube and bar clamp. Adjust stem accordingly.
