Thanks All
Drw, I PM'd you.

Yes I know of the analog stems.   I wrote them a few days ago...they aren't 
sure when their next run is going to be and it sounds like they are looking 
for a producer to make them..so those aren't available new now.

I think the 5cm tech is such a good compromise for the money.  Would love 
see something in 40mm.

I have an extra analog 30mm stem with a 31.8 clamp. I bought 2 but am only 
using one at the moment.  If you’re interested, I could part with it.

Re: [RBW] Re: 5cm Stem or shorter

2019-04-27 Thread esoterica etc

I have a Soma quill adapter with a 40mm threadless stem which allows me to use 
a Jones Loop Bar on my 1985 MB-2, and it works great. I chose the Soma because 
it was the adapter that I could find with the greatest length to get the bars 
way up high. 

And like you, I’m in the process of putting drop bars on my long top tube MIT 
Atlantis. So far I’ve got the 50mm Nitto Technomic mated to a Nitto Noodle bar. 
I haven’t mounted it yet, but if the 50mm stem turns out to be too long, I can 
always poach the Soma adapter to go shorter. You can find plenty of 30 and 40mm 
threadless stems online, but if you need to do a 0mm stem, looks like the 
threaded Analog quill stem might be your only option. Having a 
threaded-to-threadless adapter with a threadless stem isn’t nearly as pretty as 
the Analog stems, but it is about 1/2 the price. Good luck with your build and 
keep us posted!

Not as elegant as a Nitto stem, you can get a quill stem adapter and put a 
threadless style stem on it. MTB stems are available down to 30mm or so, 
thanks to the downhill crowd. Or, you could get one of those adjustable 
angle stems and point it up high. That would reduce the reach. Heavy and 
cheap looking, though.
