My bars are about 1 inch too low for my preference and I want to decrease the vertical distance.
(OK, I'll admit I'm getting older and have lost some suppleness.) In order to save time on
installing and removing (possibly) numerous stems, I thought I'd try to remember some high school
trig. Here was my approach: My current stem is installed with a 7 degrees up angle, 130mm (5.2 in
length). If I install a new 17 degree stem with the same 130mm length, the rise towards the bars of
the stem should be 0.95 inches. TAN(&)= y/x; x=5.2 in
Did I commit any glaring errors in the thought process?
