it's an odd thing. replaced all of the above with better stuff, admittedly, and now the bike feels much more responsive and nippier.
could it be stiffness? i had to add a 5mm spacer, as the new stem didn't have as high a collar as the old one and a bit of steerer tube poked out, but that should have just brought it back to the same level as the old one.
