also: bar width has gone up as stem length has come down, to give the same amount of leverage. Doesn't stop it being a pain to get through doorways and trees though.

Not really anything to do with leverage, more to do with head angles slackening. I'm (just) strong enough to turn handlebars whether they're 40cm bars on a 110mm stem, or 800mm bars on a 31mm stem.

I went from a 50mm stem to a 100m stem on the Stanton before AMR.

I wouldn't mind experimenting with sweep angles a bit as well but I'll save that for the new bike. #buyer
