This list ought to know about this question. I hope to install Maes Parallels when I rebuild the Medium 2012 Monocog and since the effective tt is 59.5 cm* compared to the 56.5 or 57 where I usually install such a bar I’ll need a stem that is both 25 or 30 mm shorter than the 80s I use on my road bike and that also gets the bar clamp at least level with saddle (don’t know needed height above spacers since I don’t yet have the saddle installed, but this suffices for the general question).
Question: Where can I find threadless stems with 5 cm extensions and a 30 or 35* rise that don’t cost custom prices? a 6 cm ought to work since I will have the bar level with saddle instead of ~3 cm below. This looks promising at $75 but even that is high for a throwaway beater: https://analogcycles.com/products/gnomehopper-60mm-stem Second question: Are adjustable stems sturdy enough for long-term use? Thanks. *I could only find the spec for the 2015 Monocog 29er aluminum but this fits with my own admittedly slapdash measurements. If anyone can correct me, please do so. I will have fun with this build. I think of ultralight 60 mm Big Ones and the long unused S3X with 17 t cog and if I can make it work a cosmetically marred Dura Ace GA 200 crank with 42 t ring for ~ 72, 54, and 45 inch gears or perhaps an 18 for 68, 51, 43.
