Hi guys.
Yesterday I ordered an XL Sam2 6.9 2021 and think I may have ordered it in error because of the reach being 510mm.
I used to own the 2020 Nukeproof mega in an XL which had a reach of 515mm and I put a shorter stem on (35mm) and 35mm riser bars in a hope to shorten the reach and I was never happy with it.
I then got the 2021 mega factory in an XL and it had updated geometry with 500mm reach. I then put the 35mm stem on so brought that down to 485mm. It felt fine.
And this is where I think the sam2 6.9 in an XL is going to be too big for me.
I'm 6'2"
Arm length of 62cm
Inside leg of 90cm
So my question is... how are you guys finding the sizing of the bike at around 6ft in height.
Thanks
P.S...
Is there a way to put another stem on the bike without having to bleed the brakes and re route the cables etc
