    Afternoon all…

    I'd like to play about with stem rises/sizes on my new ride – does anyone know if there is anywhere that offers "trial" stems so to speak?

    I would be useful if someone did…

    Cheers

    buy an adjustable one, think BBB do one, but guess the length is pretty much set on it, but changes in angle a lot, you can measure it once your happy and buy one of that rise.

    njee- its a thought. Still, could take time to source and purchase the sizes.

    It would be nice if you could hire a box of stems in all the sizes prior to purchase.

    Another thought tinsy, but still more expense involved. And all the adjustable ones I have seen appear to be road units, and not many in OS clamp sizs.

    "good" and "friendly" lbs's are hard to come by unfortunately…

    tootall… £20 it will always be worth a tenner after your finished or can keep it until the next time.

    edit Or just leave it on if it doesnt cause you any worries, I also found the BBB one I had in mind at parkers for £21

    Only problem I see is the shortest is 90mm if you run a 70mm stem it looks like you have had it.

    What sizes are you after? I've acquired a couple to play with that I don't think i'll be needing anymore & can pass on cheaply.
