Stem?
Currently on a 100mm -/+6 Ritchey stem. I originally ride a 120mm on my other bike (55cm) but when I built up my new bike (54cm) I had a 100mm stem that was not being used, so I decided to install that first. Then, when I got fitted by a professional, he said a 100mm will do but is still considered a bit compact.
So here is what I have decided on, to go with a 110mm +/-17 or a 120mm +/-6 or stick with a 100mm but with a +/-17. What would be a smart choice or what will be the most insignificant choice? thanks |
okay, let's get this straight. Your old bike had 55+12cm of reach (assuming the 120mm is reach, not extension) for a total of 67cm. Your new bike has 54+10cm of reach for a total of 64cm. That's a significant change in geometry. Better question for you is a)how comfortable you were on your old bike and b)what do you want to get out of your set-up?

The older frame is 55cm and newer bike is 54cm, problem is that my fitter is in the US and I am not. I relocated to Asia for work. I think I may go for a 110mm stem and see how things change.
