I honestly think it could... but VERY VERY VERY slight, why I am agreeing is because of the diameter of the tire, probably because, having a skinnier tire would be a little closer in to the rim and the fatter tire will be more out and away from the rim, more specifically, with a larger diameter tire, the centerline would be a little bit farther away from the center of the rim, while the skinnier one would sit a little bit closer to the center of the rim.

BUT then again, it might be so slight you will not feel it at all, and of course moving your bars back/forth will change that feel too haha

It's true, and it could be quite significant. Up to a few degrees. Get a 21" tall tire up front and a 20" tall tire in the back and you're looking at your "steep" 75.5 degree headtube becoming something more like 74.7.

I see now, a bigger tire inflates larger vertically, and with a smaller rear tire that is not as big, it is offset and decreases angle. OK. Thanks, sorry for the ignorance.

How can you pay 130 bucks for a stem? sure the tomahawk is great, but even i was having debates about buying it at the odyssey sale when it was 30 bucks
