Oh man! Bummer! How crushing, having just 'finished' the bike. Hope you heal up
fast.

I used to measure like that (along the AXIS of the extension, not the top),
but then I got a NIB Pearl. There is a picture on the box showing measuring
from the center of the handlebar clamp to the center of the quill, on a line
perpendicular to the quill, not along the extension. Doing so
If you're looking at the perpendicular measurement (the base of a 17 degree
right triangle) versus along the center of the extension (the hypotenuse of
the triangle), the difference is 1/cos(17) which is 1.046 times the
perpendicular measurement. For the 12 cm stem this works out to 5.5
I think it's very possible that RBW doesn't quote extensions as measured by
Nitto, and it's possible that Nitto doesn't measure all its stems the same
way. I think the former explanation is more likely.

I see people 3 or 4 times a year with (bike) problems and ask if they
need anything. I've had people ask me too. It's not all cyclists, or
