[Closed] Shorter stem for standard bars - do they exist?

I'm curious to see what difference the stem length makes and thought it would probably be cheap to get a stem now the fashion has moved to oversize bars but it seems they don't exist! Is this true?

I currently have a 90mm stem and would like to try 60 - 70 mm. Seen one anywhere?

Just get some shims from CRC for £2, work fine and weigh nothing

Loads of dirt jumpers don't use oversized bars so loads of normal short stems about.

Lots of jumpers use 22.#mm BMX size stems/bars, not 25.4mm
