Stem Rise Question
My current stem is at 7 degree rise and I am looking at replacing it but the one I want is a 10 degree rise.
Is this something that I will notice when I ride?
Would I need to make a headset spacer adjustment for it?
Thanks Rob

That's clever.
Obviously as I thought this is pretty minor a change

All good questions.
The bike was fitted a few years ago and it seems to still fit fine. Of course how do you know how good things are or aren't until you tweak again.
The change is mostly for looks and perhaps safety.
I have a Bontrager Race and it is a 2 bolt design and was maybe looking towards 4 bolt.
I'm not so worried about looks (i'm lying) but may change my shifters on this bike from 9-10 soon so I would thing this could be a good time to change this also.
until you tweks
