I think its a campeur, I need to know what the stem dimensions are for that setup. I am thinking about a setup simalar to this on one of my bikes with a level 58cm toptube.Thank You Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-62621979113679223272018-01-19T13:48:47.340-05:002018-01-19T13:48:47.340-05:00@ Scott, well that's fortuitous timing, thanks...@ Scott, well that's fortuitous timing, thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962685142543113487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-83633830702687419192018-01-19T13:38:06.462-05:002018-01-19T13:38:06.462-05:00@ Brett Callahan

Some complicat...I wish it was so straight forward!<br /><br />Some complications -<br />1) The angle is not consistently measured by all manufacturers or sellers, and isn't consistent between threadless and quill. A standard "7" quill stem is 73deg, and plenty of quill stems are 90deg, which would translate to -17 and 0, respectively, for "typical" threadless stems. <br />2) Most quill stems are measured along the top from the center of the stem bolt to the center of the top of the handlebar. All Nitto stems are measured from the stem bolt to the true center of the handlebar, along the central axis of the extension.<br /><br />You need to get comfy with basic trigonometry to compare stems and where they will put your handlebars. Luckily Excel has those functions built in!<br /><br /><br />Ted Durantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-2913709578387878782018-01-15T16:41:05.078-05:002018-01-15T16:41:05.078-05:00@Jim

If it's the latter, stem angle will affect the stack and reach quite a bit.<br /><br />For example, a 100mm -17° stem will be close to level for most road bikes. It will add about 100mm to the total reach and little to stack. Flip it over, and it will be close to 35° from horizontal. It will add 83mm to the reach and 56mm to stack.Zed F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07240634864757051836noreply@blogger.com
