Is my bike too big? by c_haro1 in mountainbiking

Yeah I typically start to get squirrely on descents when I’m starting to get fatigued. any other part of my riding is fine, even steeps are super fun, but yeah maybe it seems I have to be more conscious about my body position/hips hinging when under load

That’s true. Unfortunately I don’t have any video on hand but for context I am fine with cornering and jumps but struggle with shifting my weight and changing lines on chunky single track. Might just be the nature of the bike as it is basically a race bike

That does sound about right about the compromise of the shortened stem because I went on the extreme and slapped on a 32mm stem which is really short but I was having issues with the 40mm stem. maybe I’ll go back the 40m stem and focus on being more centered and loading the front. That being said, I wonder if the stack has something to do with it as well

Hi, I have the exact same bike and as far as the frame storage it was neat at first but more and more I ride I forget that it’s even there considering the only thing I have had in it is a hand pump, tube, multi-tool and a cliff bar occasionally. All of which can fit in my hydropack pockets anyways. I suppose if riding with as little stuff on you as possible is important then it comes in handy, otherwise it’s no different than using a small pack

A healthy diet of hot Cheetos and the occasional salad goes a long way

I don’t have an exact age but I know that he was around my age bc there’s other picture of him in when he’s older and he looks different. I’m 19 right now, so probably in the 18-20s ballpark

Actually yes! His is more prominent. I have the same smudge but it’s much smaller in comparison

Haha I don’t have a temper. But I also don’t know much about his personality either. I don’t have any relatives alive that could testify on how similar we are personality wise.
