thanks, donalson. according to the math, my stem is 4mm longer in reach and 10mm lower when flipped.
today's ride (20 miles) was not bad at all. hardly any soreness during or after. I'm a clyde by definition. but, I have always be athletic. soccer, lacrosse and baseball were my main sports growing up. but, I've played numerous more. I just gained the freshman 20 in college.....more like 50. lol
golf is now a sport I do mostly. I do attribute some flexibility that I have to golf.
