I'd also like to know this info. I've been running mine for the same amount of time. My left is fine, but my right skips. It's not as bad as what you describe, and I thought it may even be that I didn't file my brake housing enough and something's interfering with the cable running smoothly

Having (ex) in-laws from Illinois and Nebraska, I can tell you that Surly is John Deere green & yellow, so technically a machine. But not machine green. It is nomenclature, like a lot of color names, that has quite a bit of latitude. Which is why graphic designers, etc. use Pantone codes

I've been running these for about a year and a half now, and for the past half the left shifter has been increasingly terrible. On the push it sounds and shifts fine, but on the pull it sticks, skips, makes horrific sounds, etc. It's now at the point where it's virtually unusable. Has anyone

One more thing,like you I wasn't sure what length I wpuld need so I bought the 11 in a Nitto Young from Ben's Cyclery on the web. Something like 20 bucks and nothing at all wrong with it. Used stems are easy to buy and sell here. So you won't lose much if you guess wrong or want to experiment.

Adding another data point. I changed from an 8 cm stem with Noodles to 11 cm with Albas on my Sam. If anything I could have gone shorter with the drops and maybe a bit longer with the Albas. I have the bars a litle loser now to sort of compensate. Like others have said, it matters much less
