What are the pros and cons of going with a longer stem on my XC/Trail bike? I believe the stock stem is 40mm. I picked up a 32mm, 40mm and 50mm for sizing/comparison. Will probably return whatever I don’t use. I’m on the taller side, so leaning toward the 50mm, but don’t want to sacrifice too much on the climbs. I’m also switching from a 10mm rise bar to a 35mm rise. The difference seems very small when holding them side by side, but hoping to overcome some of the hand numbness I’ve been experiencing.

Out of curiosity, how many XC and/or Trail Guys are shifting toward more enduro style handlebar setups? If you’ve made the change what pros/cons have you experienced?
I’m seriously considering swapping my low rise bars out for a 40mm or 50mm rise. Thinking I’ll go wide but not too wide (780) and possibly carbon both for weight and the added damping benefits. Hoping this will help with hand numbness on longer rides.

I’m considering adding Somatropin to my stack and interested in hearing everyone’s experiences, advice, pros, cons. Etc.
For context, I’m 46 Y.O. Male. Currently 6’3”, 197 lbs at 13.3% BF on a recomp/lean bulk. Current stack includes peptides + 300mg Deca, 500 Test, 50 Var. 10 weeks into current cycle. I’ll probably go to 16 weeks on this cycle, provided I continue to see gains and no major sides. Also, any PCT advice is appreciated. I have Clomid and HCG on hand.

Interested in hearing thoughts on Soma vs Sero? Personal experiences. Similar results? Similar protocols w/ daily vs weekly?
