Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Request for bike pics with WCS 4-axis stem at -6 degree setup.

Anyone? I need a new stem and thought that WCS 4 axis looks good but 6 degree is too high. My normal stem is -17 so I need to know what 6 degrees drop look like mounted. I appreciate any help.

If your stem is already 6 degrees, just flip it. Then you get -6 degrees.

Edit: nevermind, read that too fast.

How about a 6 degree rise. BTW, if you want a 26x120, I might be selling mine to go OS.

Thanks for the close up. That's a beatiful ride.

P.S. your head tube looks like there's a crack Let's hope that's an optical illusion due to camera.

forgot: how are the decals on the new WCS. Is is relatively easy to remove them? I like them but the old WCS decals come off really easy.

WCS 4-Axis has printed graphics.

Here's a -6 pic...

its just a thin cover layer over the metal ring for the integrated headset. it's almost paint thin there.

It's a beautiful stem and unbelievably light. I hope the decals don't come off. I think they add a lot to the look. I almost got the Matrix one but couldn't justify the cost differential since this one is so nice looking.
