Can someone please help me make sense of the planet x bullmoose handelbar?
"This ergonomically designed bar has a slight negative rise that combines with the sweep of the bar to place the bar ends 40mm in front and 35mm above the bottom of the steerer clamp."

So what's the stem lenght then? 40mm with a 35mm rise?

The stem-part is longer and higher. The bars are swept back and down.

Those measurements are for roughly where it puts your hands (the important bit usually).

Hmmm... bare with me for a second, so the negative rise part equals bar ends swept down? Like putting a pair of risers with upsweep upside down?
It's still a little confusing for me...all I know is that i would usually need a 80 -85 mm stem for a 710mm bar on my Surly KM
