Feb 2, 2004 9:50 AM | | Typical road stems are angled too flat for my back. If I flip the stem over, approximately what angle will I end up with?
thanks for the help. |

That means it's a 10 degree drop below a right angle with the steerer tube in one orientation and a 10 degree rise if you flip it over. Road stems are available in lots of lenght/angle combinations so you should be able to find exactly what you need. Salsa is one company that has a huge variety of stem sizes. Let us know what size you're looking for and someone will probably be able to recommend a stem for you. If you already have a stem...it won't hurt anything to flip it over and try it. |
