Then again if you buy those thi gs and store the extras instead of selling them
... You have Em when you need them.
I've had good luck buying quill stems from LBS's out of junk boxes for 7 to 10
bucks a pop. Find the size you like then go for the lugged version.. :)

I have a 9 cm (measured end-to-end) stem made by Nitto, Not sure what
model it is, but it's shorter than the technomic dynamic with only 140
mm length and 85 mm above the minimum in insertion line. Further,
it's for 25.4 mm clamp diameter bars and has a hole drilled and tapped
for the
After playing around a little more with height and rotation, I found a
lightly used 9cm on Amazon of all places.
I'll let you know how it goes.
FWIW rotating the bars a little bit makes a huge difference in which
position is more comfortable. Flat ramps = most comfortable on the
ramps. Rotating
I have the same issues with a too long 12cm tallux stem. I've raised

Goes well with argyle, I believe.
Seriously, have you found a solution to your question? FWIW, raising
my stem 2 cm made 1.5 cm longer reach bars feel much the same in the
hooks and on the hoods as the shorter bars positioned lower.

Unfortunately, the answer is: You can't. The trick is either take a guess on
one; or buy both, then sell one. The first option means you may not have to
sell if it works. The second..you get to try both,
Patrick,
It is definitely too far at 2 cm above sadle height. I tried it and
put it right back to 5 cm above.
Looking back at my OP, I should have explained better.
I am trying to decide between a 9 cm stem at the current height and an
8 cm stem at 2 cm above.
