adjustable stem question
Bought a bike with a 70 mm stem and need to raise it and stretch it out a bit for a better fit. Want to buy a Ritchey adjustable. The website info states that the rotation point is 30 mm in front of the center line of the steerer.
Question is - if I by an 80 mm adjustable stem and set it up straight at 180 degrees, what will it measure from center line of steerer calmp to center line of handlebar clamp - 80mm ? - or 80+30 = 120mm ?

it'll be less than 80mm. I looked at those at my local LBS. They are 80mm when it's straight out.
