Nice work diving into the sizing chart!

I'd recommend focusing on your pad reach/stack over the base bar by the way, the base bar is less important for this bike. So in this case, the Medium w/ med-near stem and 15+5 spacers would be what I'd choose. Then you are not loosing your stack. Also, it is fine to go into the "pad range" if you can't get into the "mid pad" range - but you always want to try to get into the "mid pad' first, then work to "pad range" if needed.


Thanks, Mitch. I now own a size Medium Gen 2 Speed Concept!

However, it came with a medium far stem. I assumed I would purchase a medium near stem and have it switched out, but looking at what I have, it seems like I should easily be able to hit a 450 mm reach with the medium far stem, even though this is outside of both the mid-pad and pad range reach ranges.

In fact, it appears I could have down to a ~435 mm reach with a fairly neutral configuration of the hardware:
  • Monobar slider in the middle of the monobar track
  • Pad wing holder on the second set of holes on the monobar (calling the set of holes closest to the saddle the first set)
  • Arm pad cradles attached to the pad wing holder on the third set of holes on the arm pad cradles (calling the set of holes closest to the addle the first set)

What is the basis of the mid-pad and pad range reach ranges? Is there a reason the 435 mm reach setup I described above would be a problem or non-ideal?

More realistically, it looks like I'm going to have something like:
  • Pad wing holder on the third set of holes on the monobar
  • Arm pad cradles attached to the pad wing holder on the third set of holes on the arm pad cradles
  • Monobar slider somewhere in the middle, maybe a little further forward towards the front, of the monobar track

Any reason this would be an issue? Why does this configuration fall outside of the recommended reach ranges?
