How does interwebz work

you guys need to chill out

And you need to make an appointment for a cat scan because your brain may be missing.

Maybe back on track.....

I had straight bars on my road-mostly hybrid for commuting but after starting longer rides wanted more hand positions. My LBS recommended a trekking bar, which he adjusted so that the i still had the same position as before but with lots of additional bar space. I did end up flipping the bar upside down to get a better aero position. I'm a very happy biker now!

How does BF SS/FG work

magnets.

i'll look into that thanks dude.

but in all seriousness, I tried flipping my stem for a positive 5 degree rise instead of negative, but I felt a bit scrunched up so I flipped it back to negative. I'm very comfortable this way and I think this is the best fit possible for me on a 56cm frame until I upgrade to a 58cm frame.

Go to the mechanics forum and ask.

The obvious solution is drops with aerobars. Boom, 3 in one

But they're not fixie dudes and ain't no fun.

Make sure the tapes all wrapped wrong and no end plugs so you've got more options for core sampling yourself and others.
