Need a bit of advice regarding Cinelli stems.
I know I need a 26.4 clamp. As I recall, I measured 22mm fork tube opening. I want an 80-100mm reach so I can ride a bit more upright.
What's the difference between some of the Cinelli stems? I.E. 1A, XA, 1R.
1A is the traditional one. It's what you want. The 1R is the aero one. They actually have been around longer than you'd think, going back to the 70s, but I think it'd be out of place on that bike. They tend to creak on occasion. The XA is sort of a simplified 1R that was made mostly in the late 80s.
