Also, LitePro only makes stems with 25.4mm clamp diameter, so you cannot use 26mm or 31.8mm diameter drop bars.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-84821396558660187302014-01-14T14:46:23.593+08:002014-01-14T14:46:23.593+08:00do you think the litepro stem can fit on the drop ...do you think the litepro stem can fit on the drop bars?DeepOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988939553633304361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-2154471704568618962013-06-26T06:32:08.501+08:002013-06-26T06:32:08.501+08:00The riding position is definitely very different. ...The riding position is definitely very different. It could be that you are just not used to it, or the position is really too stretched out for you. For the Vitesse, the rider is rather short at 155 cm, therefore the need to shorten the reach. The height of the handlepost also makes a difference. I suggest asking a friend to help you take a look at the riding position.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-39344131465943472982013-06-25T22:28:11.104+08:002013-06-25T22:28:11.104+08:00If converting from flat bar to drop bars for the f...If converting from flat bar to drop bars for the first time, do I have to get used to the longer reach to the hoods or should I adjust the handlebar nearer to the rider using e.g. litepro stem like your dahon vitesse p18-tt?
