Currently got a 50mm Hope DH stem on my Rune. Thinking I might need to go shorter to 40 or even 35mm to see if that improves the handling.
Rune is Large, Bars are renthal Fatbar 780mm alloy 30mm riser.
Any recommendations for a strong AM stem, preferably with zero gap bolt fastening. (ie do the top 2 or bottom 2 bolts up to torque spec before tightening the other 2 bolts)
Was thinking of Thomson X4 40mm (not zero gap but comes recommended), Hope AM/FR 35mm - Any others I should consider? I looked at the Syntace Megaforce 2, but I don't think it's a zero gap fastening stem. I read on forums and from friends that Renthal Apex can be a bit creaky and weird, not so keen on that one.
