Actually, I'm just looking for 50mm total which equals ~2 inches. My seat is currently 2.75" higher than my handlebars. Not an extreme drop I know. If I have to adjust, I will, but I want to see what all of my options are.
It sounds like a new stem will be my best option. Using a ruler and some trig, it looks like my current stem is about 8 degrees. Can anybody confirm that this is correct for a stock Cannondale Fire 3-D Forged stem? If so, a 17 degree stem should give the height I want.
