Tech Tuesday: Six measurements that every rider should know.
A little off topic, but in the same vein..... Thinking of changing my bar set-up from long stem and medium width bar to 780mm wide OSX and very short stem (this is for use on an all-mountain type longish travel frame). I've been told by other riders that I can really reduce stem length with wider bars, giving more climbing control during all mnt rides and also more control for descents in the park. I use my bike for xc and dh. Does anyone have advice on wide bar set-ups?

Kona Dawg (19")
$900 CADDual suspension Kona Dawg in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Anything broken or worn has always been fixed or replaced. Includes upgraded front wheel, longer stem, bash guard and beefier tires. Many new parts installed and hydraulic brake lines bled and new pads installed. Bike has been ridden twice since servicing at Cyclesmith and stored in dry basement for past year. No rust. Minor/light brush/bush scratches in clear coat (to be expected from a used bike).
The Specs include:
Tires: Specialized 26X2.30" Dual Compound "Eskar"
Wheels: Sun Rims Double Track SL1 (front- used 4 times)
Sun Rims SOS (rear)
Hubs: Shimano both have 15mm QR
Brakes: Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes (new pads and bled 2 rides ago)
Levers: Hayes Sole aluminum
Head set: FSA "The Pig DH Pro"
Handlebars: Truvativ XC Riserbar
Stem: Specialized 110mm (new 2 rides ago)
Shifters: Shimano Deore "Mega 9" drivetrain

Fork: Marzocchi GranFondo3 5" travel
Shock: Fox Vanilla R with adjustable rebound and 600X2.25 adjustable coil
Have extra parts (extra wheel, stem, crank rings....) to sweeten an already great deal.
Reason for selling is that the frame is too small for me and I have recently bought another longer travel all-mountain bike. All reasonable offers considered. Trade on 29er would be interesting.
