What is this all about?
On my BMC I found myself resting my hands say 7mm back from ideal hood position on long rides. Which is less than ideal on 'ergonomic' Campag hoods. Despite having the exact stem length, and bar reach, my ETT should require. Not that its an exact science. Wasnt overly keen on getting a 90mm stem. Seemed a bit MAMIL-esque. Then I read that Easton alu stems tend to run nearly a full 10mm too long. Now have a 90 (actually 98mm) EA90 0deg stem in place.
While I forgive such mistakes for something like inflated tyre width. How difficult is it to measure, and correctly label a stem?
