It looks like Ben's has some narrower bars.
I based the jump and my own decidedly unscientific methods. Basically, the hoods are about 1 inch further out than where I would like them to be to not feel stretched out. Probably not the best way to determine stem length. I'm open to suggestions.
Will do.
Measuring, then you go across the top of the extension of the stem?
Sorry, the Pearl is 26.0, not 26.9!
A method for determining reach and hence minimum required stem extension? Sorry, that's too hard for me!!!! Your method sounds as good as any.
