I hate to say it, but that test always seems useless to me - my old bike with a 57cm TT and a 7cm stem put the bars over the hub, as does my current bike with a 58.5cm TT and 11cm stem. In fact, no word of a lie, I rode a women's shopping bike at the weekend and noticed the bars blocked the view of the hub. Surely it's just putting three things (eyes, bars, hub) in a straight line, and any one of a number of positions will have that effect?
