This is what I was afraid of. Yes, the geometry's are different, but like you said, how different are they actually...I can tell you that a couple of mm's here or there likely won't fix the issue. I'm never in the drops, if that matters. I'm the type of guy that just likes to take in the sites and bending my neck upwards to see straight irritates it. I'm not an aggressive rider at all.
