Hi
Am after something like the above.
Currently using a 70mm Hope with 25 degrees rise but it's just too much.
What's out there that's good?
Cheers
Steve

Could you not get a normal stem and a bar with more rise? Would probably look a bit better as well!

Easton do a 17 degree 70mm one. Specialized used to do an adjustable 8degree / 16 degree one in 60mm and 70mm. Not seen many others about.

I have the same problem OP. Currently using a Ritchey 30 degree stem and would like to drop it by a centimetre or two but finding it hard to find the right one.

Have a little play on a stem calculator if you haven't already. Remember that if you lower the stem angle the reach will increase.

Hi
Thanks for the replies
Already using 30mm rise bars and don't want to go higher.
The problem is the steerer length on the fork is a bit short so I can only use the stem with a 5mm spacer so that if I have a flat stem and my brake levers where I want them they catch on the top tube if the bars spin round.
To get round this I use the Hope 25 degree rise stem.
I have a little leeway with the brake lever position which is why I thought I'd lower the rise a touch and see what happens.
I suppose I could always replace the forks with ones with a longer steerer but that is a more expensive route.
I can live with it as it is- just an experiment really
Cheers
Steve

Race face turbine 60mm with 10° rise is a nice bit of kit.

Hi
Turbine is 6 degrees but DH/AM is 10 degrees.
That may be the best option
Cheers
