On today's ride I raised my stem a cm (which also brings the bars back
slightly. I think that may be the jam, the best of all possible worlds.
Lots of climbing with single track, and it felt great.
With abandon,

Well described, Mark. The challenge of a bike that does 8+ hours a day on
whatever, from paved to singletrack and the Hunqapillar is 100% there
except for a few nit-picks. I'm am absolutely nit picking here.

For what it's worth, most modern MTBs have very short stems relative to a
rider's normal 'road' stem length. I was out mountain biking with a club a
few weeks back and most people were running stems around 1-2cm shorter or
more compared to road setups. I think the reasoning is that it makes the
Thanks Justin and Matt. If I was early on in the adjusting process, you'd
be spot on, but I'm now at the point of fine tuning, so I already know I
want my current seat/stem distance just further back (except when I climb
technical trails. Grin.).
Interesting, Matt. I haven't experienced that
My upright is set up Deac's way and it's the best climber I own. But I
lean forward in climbs, which keeps the front wheel down - mostly.

Hi Patrick, I've gone back and forth with stem length for my QB, and
completely agree about trade-offs, e.g. for climbing and descending. I'm
wondering if you are just getting back into doing longer rides now that
spring is here? I find that after a period of not riding as much as
usual, I
Try just adjusting your saddle back but keeping the stem the same. You changed
two variables on the QB. It's easy to imitate one variable (saddle movement)
and then determine if you'll need to change the stem after a ride or two.

Yeah, Bill, I wondered about that as I was posting this. Of course, as
Richard points out in the long chain stay thread, they also mean you can't
pop the front wheel over rocks and roots as easily, so there is a trade off.
I'm pondering eventually trying a 7cm stem and just always riding with

The Deacon teed it up with :
"— Climbs: Current stem allows for enough weight on the front wheel that
steep single-track climbs without anything on the front rack (day rides) to
climb well. The shorter the stem, the harder it is to weight the front
wheel on climbs.
Thoughts, ideas?"
