|  Stem rise question | 03Vortex Nov 20, 2003 10:16 AM | | Can anyone tell me what is the difference between a stem that has an 80, 82, 84 degree stem rise? What does each 2 degree increment really mean in terms of actual rise? Is an 80 that much different from an 82?
Thx.. |

|  No, no, no!!! | Alexx Nov 21, 2003 10:57 AM | | Reach is independent of rise. The reach is the shortest distance from the center of the stemtube to the center of the handlebar tube. A 90mm reach stem is 90 mm, regardless of the rise. |
