I got my new stem in the mail today. 150mm stem! Thats right 150mm! I measured the offset from the new handlebar I got (cheapo origin 8 space bar) to be around 5.5cm arched back so I got a 6cm longer stem (is that ghetto logic?). Either way its really comfortable now (natural wrist/hand position on the bar) with the normal distance compared to my old riser. I also ended up cutting off 5cm from each side of the bar (now its 51cm) to be able to squeeze through the NYC traffic easier!



Today was my first day in the rain with the new bike. Finally got to feel/see/hear the difference with disc brakes. Silent direct stopping.
