I currenty ride a Whyte G150 650b large, and iv noticed a massive difference between that and my five which was an 18". I like to go to the local bike parks every now any then but it feels worlds apart from what im used to, i cant get the front end up like i used to on the five. I halready have a 50mm stem on the front but it doesnt have a rise on it and im wondering if that would help with sucking the front up a bit? Any advice
With a short stem you're pretty limited how much a sensible amount of rise will lift the bars by - a 10 degree rise Renthal Duo should work out about 8mm higher than a 0 degree stem of the same length. You might be better getting higher rise bars - Renthal do 40mm ones that look alright. I don't work for Renthal...
