Conor may be high, but not 2.4 meters…
I would always use a 14 on my bikes, in my racing years. I now use a 13, now that I'm old.
I had a tt bike with a 14cm stem, for some reason I am now on 8cm, I have a 10cm ready to go on, but I'm too lazy to switch it. Would definitely go for long over short.. 1.8m
I think heβs suffering from stem envy
This title haha. π
Well it's clear that you are very undereducated about physics and biomechanics. A stem longer than 140 mm is absolutely ridiculous. The reason that these Muppets have to use longer stems is because they ride bikes that are 1 to 2 sizes too small for them. πππ the bikes are engineered for a specific stem length or a very small range of lengths. This is why most of the Peloton are subpar bike handlers and run off the road and crash for no apparent reason. When you change the geometry of the bike to an unstable condition coupled with the fact that most of these guys are average bike handlers the end result is winding up on their arses. Unbelievably stupid modifications…π€¦ββοΈ
I wonder how many proβs have back trouble later in life?
What's the main advantages from having a longer stem as i think it can cause inconfort, mostly in the neck and shoulder area if too far or if you arent flexible enough.
This is innuendo gold!
2.4m don't you mean 2.40m π
Hey! Phrasing! π
I love me a 14cm stem too. Don't the old style stems stick out a bit now
Stem off!π
BSE ( big stem energy) clearly at play hereβ¦
I would love for Conor to do a regular skit impersonating Absolutely Massive Doug DeMuro but talking about bikes. Two shirts & all the quirks.
I always knew Conner liked a big βstemβ
Wrong size frame then , , , , π€
As a vintage MTB fan, I can only say one thing.
Respect.
15 or 16cm is massive thanks conor that gives me hope

What is the idiotic point of getting a 200mm stem when you push your saddle 200mm forward?
I have a 100mm stem, but I put my saddle in a normal position, 120mm would be normal, as it was back in the 90s and 2000s………but now? It's just plain idiotic sizing.
Dang, I thought I was tall at 2.1 You're tall.
I'm curious if they drill the stem for the sake of fully internal cabling? Just wondering. Cus thos stems don't have holes under the trunk
Did Conor really just asked to have a "stem" measuring contest to see who's is bigger?
