I have bought these: https://www.zipp.com/bars/sl-70-aero which have a 70mm reach which I will be updating with this https://www.zipp.com/stems/service-course-sl-stem/

However I am replacing my standard Giant connect bars and stem. I currently have a 100mm stem and the bars for the life of me I cant find the reach.

But they have more reach than the zipps. Watching this https://youtu.be/ZJALTWoFNlg?t=7m20s suggests I should have something around the 120mm mark...

Anyone had any experience changing over the standard Giant bars with smaller reach ones?

    what facet of this are you intrigued about? The procedure? The feel? The look?

    More about the fit. Looking for roughly the same reach and fit that I currently have but with 70mm reach bars
