This is my Trek, I’ve been enjoying the 24” size WAY more than the 22.5” models I used to ride.
My Miyata I picked up when I was still buying 22.5” or 56/57 cm frames. It’s always felt a touch small, and I’ve been trying different stems.
I think I might have a winner. It’s feels about right, and it doesn’t look too out of place. I’m still hunting for a 60cm frame, but ‘till I find one, I think I have a usable set up.
And it’s been cleaned a LOT before I posted. Before I had used it in the snow (earlier in this thread) I had hosed down the whole thing with WD40 to keep it safe from any moisture or salt. It did work, but left a bit of a sticky film behind. It’s all cleaned of now though, and looking sharp.
This seems about right, feels like home.
Themis is the fourth stem I’ve tried on this bike, I may have a winner...
A side by side.
The trouble I’ve been having with stems is they are either normal dimension, or SUPER tall. I just need a little taller than usual. A 0* bend in a 90mm or 100mm would be perfect, but the Nitto 0* bend only comes in 120mm and that’s just too long.
This one is a little taller than I want, even at the lowest setting, but it feels about right while riding around. Further testing is in order.
