While I could the computations you suggest (can you ?) sadly now I am talking real life here. It is not my first road bike, it is the first with threadless 1'' carbon fibre steerer [see attachment].
I am flexing the bar alot when I pull at it climbing hard from out of the saddle - the reason might be flex in el cheapo stem I put on for sizing but anyways I want to make this thing as stiff as possible, given best fit bar position.
