Jay, I think this is a fit issue if you are trying to replicate your fit from one bike onto another. Is that the goal? I have heard of something I think is called an "XY axis method" that does this. Done with lasers. I think it is based on how bars and saddle sit relative to the bb. I think.

What stem angle are folks running to get to around bar height without a ton of spacers or super steep stem angle---6 or 7 degrees? Photos would be helpful if you have them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

Neither will affect the way the stem makes the bike feel. Obviously, they will affect the fit and feel in other ways. On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 9:10 AM, Kai Vierstra wrote: > Would they affect it, indirectly? > -Kai > Brooklyn NY > > -- > You received this message because

What about head tube angles, those must be acoounted for also ! What about bottom bracket heights also ? Everything comes into play in subtle and not so subtle ways. FWIW, every bike is completely different, and as such you think you ought to be in a position just like X bike, but once upon

Very helpful. So, comparing: 1) the 56.5 top tube length with 73 seat tube angle of the Legolas; 2) the Homer's 58.5 top tube length, 72 seat tube angle, and current 90mm stem; and 3) my second-hand Custom's 57.5 top tube length,72 seat tube angle, and current 90mm stem... I think I need

Jay, To copy the cockpit position from the Homer to the Legolas, you need to make one adjustment. Subtract one cm from your Legolas stem before you compare and compensate for different top tube lengths. In other words, the one degree steeper seat tube angle on the Legolas has taken up roughly
