After 80mm stem for new (29er) build. I think I want a negative rise stem to lower the front a bit; apart from the -10 EA70, can anyone recommend any other options? Is there a -15 option?

Bonty do a -17

KCNC do a -17 one in both 70 and 80mm

Oh and of course what him below just said vvv

Any positive one turned upside-down 🙂

^ just what I was thinking.

OK, what are the 10 deg rise option, then? 😛

Negative Rise – you mean a drop i assume?

Yes, but why use one syllable where several will do (or alternatively I’m post on call and a bit addled as a result of sleep disruption)?

My Smica one conveniently has a double-sided logo so it even reads properly upside-down 🙂 as it is on my hybrid.

Many do (like the Bonty one I linked to)

3T for me, basic one is 6 degrees and the nicer ones also have a 17 degree option

Pro Koryak – any good?

The Thomson X4 10 degree stems are reversible with graphics that read both ways.

Sadly, the Thomson 80mm 10deg stem isn’t available yet.

Ah, sorry about that didn’t realise.

Just out of interest, if you have a look at this link you can mess around with different stem lengths and rise and see how it will affect your setup.

I’ve found it really handy.

Edit – Aspire Velotech are listing the 80mm 10 degree stem, so it might not be too far off?

That stem calc tool is great. Very handy.

Maybe; I’ll keep an eye on that.

The stem calc tool is very good – thanks.

I’ve used that stem calc tool quite a bit, especially before committing to buying a new stem. Takes the guess work and expense out of it.

Ritchey c260?

Ritchey c260?

Isn’t that only a 6 deg offset? Also, I’ve heard that some bars don’t get on with the Ritchey clamp (hence C220 trail stem).
