Wanted - road stem, 110mm, no incline

fat bloke · 2015-11-19 17:12:00

Looks like the standard fitment - 31.8 and 1 1/8 or whatever (standard units still escape the biking fraternity for some reason :rolleyes:), and it seems either 6° or 17° are the standard angles. My current one must be 17 and I want a flatter one so, that'd be the 6 then:) Could swop for mine or just buy yours. If anyone…

I've a Fsa os150 stem 110mm and 6 degrees. Used but no marks/scratches. I was originally given it so you can have it for 4 euro to cover postage if you wish.

same as this but 110mm

Most headtubes are 73 degrees, so...

A +/-17 degree stem will give rise of 0 or 23 degrees.
A +/-6 degree stem will give rise of 11 or 23 degrees.

So I'm confused by your "My current one must be 17 and I want a flatter one", since zero rise is flat.

I think.

Here is a bike with a (-)17 degree stem.

Well, we can't have that!

If I may put it my own succinct terms:

My current stem is like this: /

I want it to be more like this: _

Why not just flip your current stem and see if that position suits you better?

Hmmm... Is it that simple, will I not then have a stem like this : \??

I suppose that's what Lumen's pic shows. I don't like that droopy hang-dog look. And it's probably too aggressive for me, physiologically.

No - worst it will be is horizontal if that stem's 17 degrees. Looks like it's 6 degrees though, in which case you will have a net "movement" of 12 degrees downward which will still result in a smaller incline.

So assuming your current one is inclined by 17+6=23 degrees, turning it over reduces that incline by 12 degrees to 11 degrees (ie you pretty much halve it)
