I thought the bars were supposed to be in the same place? That's nowhere near. Looks nice though.

Yeah, they were with the 130mm 6° stem flipped to rise. But feels better this way...

The first set of photos had a 90mm 17° stem.

Sorted.

Feels amazing now. Thanks chaps.

Hmmmm... looking at that photo, I think I'll flip that stem...

:D

Slam bam, thank you mam!

Well, not quite slammed, but looks much better - a happy compromise....

Thanks for all your advice. Pipecutter worked a treat, so much easier and neater than a saw would've been.

Hacksaw it is then! Thanks.

Edit: Just seen sjc's comment. Might try pipecutter first. Haha!

Really useful tool.

Okay, the plot thickens...

Last night I put on a 130mm stem with 6° drop, which feels so much better than the 90mm stem in the photos. I've got 30mm of spacers plus 10mm spacer for my bell. So if I remove 30mm of steerer tube (I want to keep the bell) and have a 6° rise, the bar is effectively going to be in the same place.

If I flip the stem later, I'll get another 8mm of reach and 26mm more drop.

What's the best way to cut the steerer tube? I've got one of those plumber's pipe cutter thingys. Any good? Or hacksaw?

Thanks all...

Slam?

Ah, slam..... Yeah, looks so much better.

Watch this space.....

Hmmmm... looking at those photos, I think I'll flip that stem...

:D
