MTB fit

Assuming your road and/or cross fit is good- I recommend this.
Reach- longer than tops on road bike, shorter than hoods.
Drop- start at half of road drop. Don't be afraid to keep raising- There is no right answer.
Bike should feel like it stays put on steep climbs. From wheel does not wander or want to pop up. Back wheel doesn't easily slip out or loose traction. Upper body should feel relaxed.
If you are running wide bars you want a shorter stem than you would use with say 680-700mm bars.
