You may well be right, Mas. I called Rivendell and I asked about the Nitto 280 mm quill. They had never heard of it so I sent them Soma’s link. Riv’s newsletter today told of a hefty bill they have coming so I asked if Rivendell could get this stem and take my order, and does it even help. They can! It does!
So, I guess I’m going to spring for this ridiculously expensive stem and see if I can finally put #stemsonclems to rest. It isn’t like my fit is so off on this bike - it’s just that every single time I ride it I think, I wish I could sit back a little. If these bars were just a bit higher I’d have no tension in my arms. I can get them there if I ignore the perils of the Max Height Line, but you all have scared me out of doing THAT. It’s close - it really is, and maybe I’m poised to make my situation worse in this pursuit of perfection. I know that perfect is the sworn enemy of good. Or however that saying goes - you know what I mean. I guess we’ll see. Thanks for all the help!
