So, every rider should know, not what stem length and angle they like. They should take note of how far they like their hands behind the front axle. That is where steering happens.

No, I'm saying that the only thing that matters is the hands relationship to the front axle. The head tube angle and head tube length determine how long a stem you need.

Stem choice is a function of

So, using Scattos doesn't "wreck your fit". It just means that you can't use the same stem that you used with your old long/deep bars.

You are right.

I use -10deg 130mm stem with my Scattos and I still don't have the reach I want.

The hilarious part is that mentioned Pervis' bars which are probably the most expensive sprint bars in the world right now. I think retail price is 400 or 500USD. Those bars are essentially copies...
