extending reach of handlebars

[joanna]

My bike fits me pretty much as it should, however, I feel that I want more reach between me and the handlebars - so I've got a more stretched out position. There are bar ends on there at the moment, but they are quite small, so will probably find some longer ones, but is there anything I can do to take the handlebars further out?

My bike btw is the sirrus.

thanks for any advice

IIRC the Sirrus has a modern Aheadset style stem.
You can just buy a longer stem. Very simple job to swap out.

I have a 120mm stem to fit original sized bars not the newer over sized bars that measurment is taken from centre of bars and centre of steerer. This is a spare so any use to you let me know

A quick fix might just be flipping the stem (angle it down), I did that initially to my sirrus an it felt more aerodynamic and a better reach, its now got drop bars however

I went from a 100mm heavy adjustable stem set at 10 degrees to a 120mm ultra light non adjustable at 10 degrees.It certainly suits me better.
