the thing is 620mm is hardly wide.

I know I am probably quite a bit larger but I run 700mm on both my bikes, also if her stem is 'good" now it will not be good if you drastically change the width because going wider effectively makes the reach longer.

on brakes, I am a sram guy, but avids honestly kinda of suck compared to the new ICE tech Shimano brakes. SLX,XT, and XTR all effectively stop the same with the SLX being heavier and cheaper.
