Currently have a Hope 25 degree riser stem at 70mm long. The height is fine but the bars are too close for me - need to push 'em 30mm further away. So then, is there a stem at 100mm long with 25 degree rise? Seen a few cheapos but doubt their strength / suitability at prices seen. Going on a Blue Pig so hard'ish use.
Oh yeah - I'm alredy using high rise bars so can't gain anything there.
Cheers all!
I think I have a cheapy from Halfords that does that heavy, but in one piece
I think cheap just means heavy not weak or with money to burn......
Treat your self to a longer steerer on some new forks?
The new fork thing had crossed my mind but I gave myself a good talking to. So cheap = heavy, rather than weak? If so, good news!
Actaully this might do
As a longer stem will have alot more rise at the same angle

It shows the new stem puts the bars up 10mm
A 6 degree stem only drops the bars 5mm
I never stop being amzed at how confusing comparing stems is.
A 5 mm drop could be made up with 5mm less sag.....
Planet X used to do them
Plenty on Ebay

Sorry, should have said, bars are oversized so need 31.8
