bike fit question

Russman · 2010-01-31 20:00:54

Quick question for you experienced cyclists out there, If you're feeling just a little stretched out on the bike is it best move the saddle forward slightly or get a slightly shorter stem ? Not talking much here, just a little. Thanks

Assuming your saddle fore-aft is already correct, then change the stem.
