I’ve been riding my gravel bike a lot more than my road bike recently, so when I get on my road bike the bars feel super low. So I decided to raise them. I have been using a 11cm -6 rise Ritchey WCS stem on my road bike, and wanted to compare simply raising the Ritchey 5mm to swapping it out for an 11cm 0 rise Easton EA90 stem. Enter the handy
Stem Comparison tool! Below is the comparison. As you can see the reach stayed about about the same, but with the Easton 0-rise stem the bars would be 7mm higher. I made the swap and it feels great! Not quite Grant Peterson approved yet, but getting there!
