Review: BMB Reverse Raise Stem - The Stem That Wants to Change Mountain Biking
@bemorebikes: It's great to hear from you! I'm planning a video about your stem. I was gonna go it based on theory, but if you like I'll be happy to test one in real life. leelikesbikes at gmail dot com.

Review: BMB Reverse Raise Stem - The Stem That Wants to Change Mountain Biking
Whether this stem is a good idea or not, this reviewer clearly has little idea how a bike and body are supposed to interact with each other. Whenever a review says a stem affects the way a rider’s mass weights a bike, stop reading. That person does not know how great riding works.

Opinion: Save the Turns, Stop the Straightlines
@Muscovir: The bikes ARE way better! I've been on every Enduro since the first one in 2002. But they have to fit the rider to work properly. In many lines, like Specialized, people need to go down a size. In other lines (Yeti, Transition, etc) if you are average sized all of the sizes are too long for optimal handling. All the details in the book Dialed and at www.llbmtb.com.

@Muscovir: Exactly. But we all need to ignore the letter size. It's meaningless.

@luckynugget: Exactly! Back in the day, it was all about agility. Now it's stability -- which can also be expressed as "difficult to turn, especially if you lack skill."

@Stumpclumper: Even more crazy: Looking at the frame reaches on Nomads. The 2023 size small is LONGER than the 2013 size XL. Really. All the details in my book Dialed and at www.llbmtb.com.

@PhillipJ: When the bike is too big relative to the rider, the rider loses range of motion to create the needed angles. All the details at www.llbmtb.com

I wonder how much of this trend toward straightening trails is related to the new long/slack geo that PB sells per its industry masters. Most people have a harder time turning these bikes.
