Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A question on reach with stem/bar combo
Ok this might get the stupidest question of the day award but i just want to be certain. If i have a 110mm stem with bars that have 70mm reach can i replace them with a 100mm stem and a bar that has 80mm of reach and have everything back in the right place??

The shifters should end up in the same place but your flats will not, obviously. Also assuming the angle of the stem is the same, of course.

The answer is obvious but may I ask the reason you’re considering this?
