Yes they are considerably different Leah in that they are as you found out, considerably longer in the front overall. I noticed it in the first email photo of Grants new blue 59cm Clem-L(he formerly rode a 52) and called Will @ Riv to get the specs and that confirmed it. While I knew that would be great for someone tall like myself, and prefers a more leaning forward position, other people who have Clems may not like it without some re-adjustments.
I can't tell what length/height stem you have, but obviously one that offers a shorter *overall *reach will help. The shortness can be done with various angle and lengths, meaning a 80mm stem that rises say 25 degrees(above flat level) like a Dirt Drop will have a shorter overall reach(flat level) than one that lowers by 17 degrees, like a Tallux, at the same bar height. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
