I'm considering getting an FSA stem and they state their stems are angled 6°. Does this mean that the it's really 84° in comparison to the ITM (90° - 6° = 84°?) If so, then the FSA stem will be angled up slightly, correct? I don't want that.
Why can't all the manufactures use the same reference point? It would be less confusing.
One of the problems is that not all head tube angles are the same.
