Help me out with this one. Assuming the average unracer wants their bars up nice and high, what purpose does a "road" stem (like a Tallux) serve, and/or why would it be preferred, ever, over a mountain-type stem (Dirt Drop, Periscopa, etc.) of equal stem length? For the life of me I can't figure this out. The only purpose I see to a drop/road stem is that it allows putting the bars below the top of the headtube should this be desirable. I'm building up my Sam H. and put on my Tallux, which looked fine with Alba's on my previous bike, but with my Nitto Rando bars I think it looks somewhat awkward/goofy. So I'm ordering a Dirt Drop. What am I missing?
Tallux f.s. coming soon... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
