Thanks for the information on the crank length. That’s one of those options no one mentions or even suggests you try. I shortened my stem by 10mm at the shop (came with 120mm and it changed to 110mm) and slid my seat forward, but I have since pushed my seat back for comfort. My seat post is still quite high. I scared the boys only once since riding this bike. I guess one’s riding style should be considered. I enjoy riding intermediate terrain, I only attempt stuff I’m comfortable with (I’m 53, I had my hay day when the bones would heal) and I will dismount when in doubt.
