"It seems the only stability issue with a shorter stem would be some decrease in stability when riding with one hand on the bar."
As far as my not-an-engineer brain can tell this would only be true in a situation - like a flatbar- where the shorter stem moved your hands back exactly as far as the the stem reduction. Which is not the purpose James/Candice/Analog are marketing the 0 stem for. It's to use a frame you can ride riser are pull back bars with, and convert it to putting your hands in the same general spot with drops: Stem comes back, bars move forward. There should be no change in steering between the two setups. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
