I love mountain biking, ill thrash anything on a trail idc, but fr why do they put handlebars so far forward it hurts everyones back i guarantee, i stole the handlebars from my mums ancient commuter bike and the steel connecting bit for the handlebars from my dads old race bike which is like twice the weight of his new one so neither of them mind. then i put a rack on it and a pannea bag which is actually just a 20 year old traddie bag, it desnt make noise its perfect and it still rips on trails why tf do people may 1000 dolars for this shit? ive got no idea
Is there a reason you have the stem backwards? Did you do it for comfort or didn't realize you had it on backwards? At least you have the crown facing the right way. Ignore the snobby mountain bikers in this thread that bike looks comfy. The forward lean is more for speed and you can get used to it but I know people who just don't like that aggressive position so I get the upright mindset.
