OK so this is nothing new to all you guys but for poor old me with my cube and it's 90mm stem and 680 bars switching to the 60mm stem and 740mm bars has been a bit of a revelation.
Had my first outing with the new set up today and at first on the flatter stuff and long fire road climb I thought, meh, not any better tbh glad I only threw £40 at it. Then on a bit I hit the first bumpy downhill section and thought, aye aye wait a minute. Then on the next downhill I was falling in love with the new set up. It feels like my wee 100mm forks have been upgraded, the bumpy stuff just feels a lot smoother. It was my first ride for 2 weeks due to hols and took it fairly easy so was pleasantly surprised to see 3 PBs, and all were on the down sections.
Probably the best upgrade (and just about the cheapest) I have done on the bike. Only the forks and wheels are left as standard now......
