Thanks for the assist in info processing ... are you going to add this to the compendium of "Drop-Bar" knowledge, be handy to keep it all in one place.<br /><br />Thanks again;<br /><br />hank hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385320021596416174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-75991436989573829892016-11-23T11:05:41.843-05:002016-11-23T11:05:41.843-05:00@hank h- Yeah, actually any 90's era hard tail...@hank h- Yeah, actually any 90's era hard tail would make a good candidate for a drop bar conversion. Reason being is that front/center measurements, (or effective top tube measurements, if that is what you understand better), are shorter than modern hard tail bikes. This allows for that reach of the bars + stem to be a reasonable one. <br /><br />So, to simplify things- You don't want to end up with a hand position that is too far away from you as you sit on the saddle of the bike. (This is "reach" which is determined by the length of the top tube, stem, and handle bar added togetehr) Modern bikes start out with really long top tubes which are meant to be paired with 50mm length stems. (really short) Adding a drop bar, which has built in extension due to the forward nature of the hook part, to a modern hard tail makes the bars too far away from where you sit, (probably), so that's why older hard tails work better for this. <br /><br />Hope that helps.

Have been debating a conversion with a '95 Stumpjumper as the host.I have already replaced the front fork with a suspension corrected ridged fork for a Surley "Troll". Is this a good match for the Velo Orange Cigne Stem. Being new to the customizing and modifying of bicycles I feel the need to ask as the "bike-speak" is still new and some of your terminology is still new to my brain (such as it is), and so I ask a question or few.<br />Thanks for your thoughts'<br /><br />hankhankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385320021596416174noreply@blogger.com
