having stem anxiety. i guess they exist but i can't seem to find any stems with shorter vertical heights (for frames with shorter headtubes). can anybody point me in the direction of one?

...you might be able to remove the wedge bit and bolt and cut the stem shorter, while keeping the same angle of course, and making sure you still have thread in there for the bolt to screw into. Am I making sense?
