You know, I meant to follow up with Ken about that a couple months ago after getting a sorta vague "some have them and some don't" answer from Dre, but I didn't. I'll do that now and see what I can find out. The geo charts, I suspect, are based around no spacer beneath the head tube. My measurements were done with a "super accurate" iphone inclinometer and are therefore a bit suspect. But the floor was reading 0 degrees, and the rest of the numbers seemed to fall in line, so I stand by what I measured. Also, per the geo charts, the wheelbase on the Element somehow miraculously stays the same even as head angles and bottom brackets are changing with each different RIDE4 setting. So, ummm, yeah. Let me get back to you on some of this...
