my road bike(that ive just got ),it feels like too much of a stretch and im always fidgeting ,the hoods feel a bit far away and i have to stretch for them ,,so im thinking move the bars a bit closer to me ,,,(iv tried the seat as far forward as it goes and its still not enough (doesnt feel right either ),,the stem thats fitted puts the bars too far forward ,it has a long top part ,,iv seen a nice used stem on ebay (btw the bike has an old style threaded headset ,,with a big lockring ,so the stem can just b loosened and changed ,not affecting the forks at all)with a shorter "projection "(eh?),,what i need to know is changing this is quite straight forward ,,but ,,as far as i know theres two diff sizes ??do i remove the existing part and measure across the existing hole or what?how do i know which size i need ?
btw the bike is an older road bike made with reynolds 753 tubing on original forks if thats any help
