Eric, the catalog says it's a 1" rise/drop, so, I'll believe them on that.
Diego, laying my old Boscos as close to on top over the clamp as I can manage, I'd say the Boscos come back about an inch more. Measuring, the Billies are 8.5" straight before they bend as advertised. The Boscos are closer to 7.5" before the bend, but then go closer to 9" before the clamp. So, Boscos more literal back reach, Billies more grip area? On Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 7:38:41 PM UTC-4, Eric Daume wrote: > > What's the actual rise/drop on the Billie?
