wondering about getting some different bars and a stem after seeing the sunline thread...

remember a year or so ago using a site that you could put in the lenght of stem, degree of rise, stack height to compare 2 different sets of bars and stems BUT can't find the link since rebuilding the PC.

Anyone know what the hell i'm talking about or, even better, provide a link??

Did you find that useful? It works to show a difference but no real value in my eyes, am I missing something perhaps?

Well its confirmed that the only way I'm going to get my bars low enough is with flat bars and a 0degree rise stem (same length headtube but a 50mm longer fork!).Which is handy because i've just bought them anyway!!

As a comparison to see changes in length and angle yes but obviously won't take into account bar rise or sweep...
