slowjoe Posted August 22, 2007 Share take a measure tape to LBS, pick up a 100mm stem, measure it. Then u will know if its end-to-end or center 2 center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1hill@aTime Posted August 22, 2007 Share ok that's pretty confusing, i checked on the website and checked my bikes specs it's 110, will a 100mm stem make a big difference. reason being on the hoods, i can't see my front hub, over the bars without leaning a bit forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 22, 2007 Share  reason being on the hoods' date=' i can't see my front hub, over the bars without leaning a bit forward[/quote']  For starters, the old method to determine correct length was you should not be able to hub when you are in the drops. But nowadays it's just a guide and you should do whatever is confortable.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 22, 2007 Share What's so interesting about your hub that you have to stare at it ??Besides you should be looking in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
