That's the thing I am talking about. I think you have to use a shorter stem at higher stem height. I am experimenting with it. ... I am out of work with a broken collar bone; and am absolutely bored, you see?




70 mm stem with 225 mm quill. Normal Technomic stem are 150 mm. I am hoping it would raise my bar up by 5-7cm and toward me by 2-3cm. That ought to put my posture back and less pressures on lower palms.

Geez. I can't get on my bike for another month or two. I can't wait.
