Short Stem Roses
Today was much better, cycling-wise. Went out for about 2 hours at the end of the day. Lauran warned me not to come back before dark.
Tech Report: OK, so I reported earlier that I'd like to flip the stem, because I wondered if the drop was too much for me. I did, but it just ended up ridiculously erect.
So I put it back to normal, which is a flat angle (actually -17 degrees).
It's OK for me, but I wanted to see if a slight rise and a little less extension might feel better.
Tonight's ride was a test, and, I must say, I am very pleased with the new stem. It's about 5mm shorter and has a 5 degree rise, which all add up to what feels so far like comfort. Weight weenies can take comfort in the fact that it's a whole 40 grams lighter. Plus, it's carbon, so it looks all status symbol-y. And we all know that appearances are everything, right?
