Got a Dialled Prince Albert - used as hack bike and commuter. Large frame and i'm over 6ft. i feel like a gorilla on a tricycle. Maybe I've got used to full suss 29er with wider bars, but just don't feel right on it. Advice:
- Currently have long 100mm stem and 660 bars - which feel narrow (got used to wider bars). Suggestions for stem and bar length combos.
- Also I need more sky in my rounds. 2.1 Nobby Nics feel thin. Balloony tyres?
Ideas appreciated.
I'm 6ft1 on a large Prince Albert. Running a 60mm stem with 750mm wide bars. 2.3 Specialized Butcher on the front and a Purgatory on the rear. Works for me!
Everyones different - I run 800mm bars and a 35mm stem on my ht and it feels great (6'2). Put the bits off your full sus on it to start with and see how it feels
£20 for some 760mm bars https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/ragley-wiser-riser/rp-prod122300
Tenner for a 60mm brand x stem on crc. Should be good enough for a hack/commuter bike.
Thanks all v helpful - especially Gringo - similar size and same bike!
I´m 6ft...PA in large,handlebar 800mm, hope freeride stem 75mm,2,4 tyres,
fits perfect...meanwhile my commuter,
and in a more used condition after all the years...
good to see these dialled bikes still used.
