Needed a new stem for my beater to refit comfibars and cantis. Picked up this ancient Odyssey Pro Steer System one for £4 from a lbs - has a slightly mad adjustable cam system that increases the mechanical advantage as you pull in the cable so you can theoretically gain more clearance and more power. Took all afternoon to set up, but does work.
Of course the Shimano servo wave levers kind of do the same thing. I have over a centimeter of pad clearance and the shortest lever throw in the world...
