Help with stem angle/length

[anaphase]

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't quite know how the angle of the stem equates to the degree of rise I would get and how that then affects the reach. So, if I have something that is 83º and I want to raise the bars, do I get something that is 107º and go down to 80mm, or 125º and 90mm, or some other combination of measurements?

That is a really cool tool.

ETS - +1 on the fitter. It really is more complex than changing a stem, usually.

I would recommend that you go visit a fitter.
