Fair point. I was thinking about this as I wrote this. How I meant it:
\- Reach - The standard form of measurement spat out by bike companies
\- Effective Reach - The actual distance we are reaching to the handlebar
There's a tremendous amount of variables to effective reach. Stem length, stem rise, spacers, bar sweep, bar rise, etc. So, all I meant when speaking about an "increase in effective reach" was that the bars got further away from me. Same argument for Effective Stack, but I think that one is probably easier to nail down.
