There seem to be three factors involved in the question (but correct me where I’m wrong, physics folks!):
1. Stem length 2. Bar width 3. distance of grip from in-front or behind stem bolt (I’m least certain of this of the three). Stem length: presuming steering from the stem, without bars, as stem length forward from the stem bolt increases, less pressure but greater distance is required to turn the handlebars. Bar width: as bars widen, leverage increases each direction, also requiring less effort but greater distance to steer. How do these two interact with each other? And does #3 above play any role? (yes, I’m ignoring the rabbit hole of trail, head tube angle, and no doubt other things, but Rivendells are generally in a similar camp in those areas, so that is the focus of my question).
