stem length for my 180mm Decoy

[akuria]

I just made my Lyrik 180mm. what would you reccomend for a good stem length? Keep it stock 30mm? or go a scoosh longer? 40,50mm? runnging 800mm bars with 25mm rise.

How long is your reach? Did it feel okay before the 180 fork? It's hard to recommend something when I don't know the previous stack and reach was and not seeing you sitting on the bike.
After going 180 on the Decoy I would recommend a fullface helmet

I have a XL frame and am borderline XL and XXL but chose a smaller frame for playfulness. stock is a 40mm stem. It feels too twitchy in the gnarly sections atm. I've always ran a DH full face so.

Um...

when I say twitchy. it's too twitchy at the steering. hard to control at times. didn't have this feeling on my nomad with a 180m fork which was also a smaller frame size. Sorry for my lack of better explanation. Lol
