    My stem on my new bike is flipped. Surprised me, because, like Mimitabby I thought I needed to be higher. However, it was done to start me out in the "midrange" which means I can go higher or lower if I need to.

    The stem is designed to be flipped as it has the company name readable from both sides.

    Doesn't all of this depend on the degree of the stem to begin with? The two pics, (btw, thanks for the pics) look like stems with different degrees, yes, no, maybe?? Also, (perhaps not for the racing circuit types) they sell stems now that can swivel and move to the degree you wish without removing and flipping.
