Stem advice sought - 1 1/8, 50mmish

Posted on
  • Im trying to replace my 100mm stem with something much shorter as my riding position is not right. Im using:

    1 1/8 unthreaded forks
    26mm bars

    Im thinking a stocky MTB style one is probably the was to go, but they all seem to have either 25.4mm clamps, or oversize 30.1 or whatever it is. Thinking something like this:

    Can anyone suggest a stem which will fit my existing bars with the more common road size?

    I'd prefer not to buy new bars as Im very much experimenting with the set-up at the moment.

  • You will need a road stem with a 26mm bar clamp,,, Not 25.4 or 31.8...

    Try flipping your stem upside down before buying a new one.

    Cheapest 26mm would be on ebay or something like the Cinelli Vai

  • Thats a pretty good tip on the 50mm Cinelli stem, C2 - thanks. Im trying to avoid a stem with rise though (i.e I thing I'd prefer 0 degrees). Im sure I've seen heaps of folk using MTB ones with drops though.

    Might try one of these if i cant find anything else.
