I can't tell if Slowfurry old stem is zero degree or -6/7, if it was then that measurement make sense.
Still I got into the habit of measuring stem before buying them now as Dammit would check rims wear before buying a wheelset.
My old stem was 5 deg, and marked 100mm. I've removed spacers, and added a 0 deg 90mm stem. Looks far less 'professional'. But it gets me in a slightly better position, while losing stem length, steerer length, and spacers. So its a teeny bit stiffer, and lighter.
Theres a weight weenie thread about weird Easton stem lengths. Pretty sure its not a case of measuring the 'effective' stem length.
