I believe in trial and error, and starting with what you have. If you're set on the Alba/Oxford, it won't cost as much to try it with the stem you have. Of course you'll need a shim - I'm so glad the 26.0 handlebar "standard" is (nearly) dead.
Try with the stem you have and then you'll have a better idea on how much change you need out of your new stem. Of course, a cheapie Kalloy "dirt drop" style quill stem isn't much more than a Nitto handlebar shim. The Kalloy stem only comes in 100 mm, which simplifies things.0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
