My calculations show that that an 80mm Dirt Drop stem, which according to Rivendell has a 65mm horizontal extension, is the equivalent of a Nitto Technomic stem with a length of 8.1cm. Therefore, if you use a 6cm Technomic stem, you can get the bars 2cm closer to you. The reason that is the case is because a Nitto Technomic stem has to be raised more in order to achieve the same height as a Dirt Drop stem, and the more you raise the Technomic stem, the more it will come back towards you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
