Mrs Cube says the M62 is at a standstill. I'll set off via Rochdale/ Oldham over the tops at about 6, tyres pumped, lights attached. ......... I'll bring a 70 mm stem and a couple of bars. I've got some lock-on grips so we can swap about if you like.

Just checked bars are not OS so Dans stem may be a good starting point!

What Dan meant to say is "What a fantastic ride, It is so much more exciting in the dark. Every feature of the trail is changed and more dangerous, just the way I like it." 
Here are the fantastic four
We will definitely have to do it again, and bring @potsy along next time.
EDIT: By the way guys, I like the way you kept sending me ahead to check for trip wires and stuff....

Enjoyed that. Good ride and good company. Cheers for the loan of stems and bars Dan and Cubist. Will try some small changes and see what suits.
Must say enjoyed night riding, will have to do it more in the future.

You look like miners about to descend to the coalface.

Dan looked like he'd already been down. I assume the towpath was blashy on the way?

I'll tell you what lads, sometimes I call that camera of mine but to be fair it does take a good picture more often than not

Shame I live a bit too far away. Looks like it was a good night out.
Just want to give a quick shout to @Cubist for a couple of his recommendations A 50mm CNC stem from On One. Quality bit of kit for very few pennies and its also very light. Also bought 4 sets of Kevlar pads when they were on offer at Superstar. Great feel to them and they don't feel as gritty as sintered.
Just hoping the stem makes the bike feel like I want it to.

Having had a quick go on Cubists bike last night the shorter stem wider bar setup makes a big difference on handling. It turns on a six pence. Not sure how it will feel over steps etc but I will be trying various options out over the coming weeks.
