Fitting question
I lowered the handle bar about 1/2 - 3/4". Am I likely going to have to make any other adjustments to compensate?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That is a big change. I have been experimenting with .5cm changes at a time. You may need a shorter stem, if you are now too stretched out. Make sure you are comfortable with the amount of drop first though.

Or move the seat forward. It depends why you made the adjustment in the first place.

Change your medical plan. That is a huge drop too quick. .5 of a drop gave me numbness down my left arm from my shoulder and lasted weeks.
