Yup. I've always wondered what's the "best" way to position grips in relation to the center of the steerer tube axis. I roll my bars back for more sweep, and therefore run a longer 50mm stem to keep the steering from getting weird.
To keep my setups consistent, I run a string from end of grip to grip so I can see how it lines up with steerer. I find I like this string ~10mm forward of center of steer tube.
It feels fine, so I'm probably overthinking it, but I started wondering about it when I went to more sweep due to sore elbow. Dark art, this.
