35/40mm Stem

[Cogent Industries]

This is a long shot but does anyone in the Pretoria area have a 35/40mm stem I can use to test for a fitting?

why would you want to go shorter than 50/60mm?

Apart from looking better...

more twitchy , more responsive on downhills

But by how much?

 

It would also seem that it'll be stiffer and stronger

Guess it is relative. Depends on what bike you ride, geometry, your style, your setup, body positioning etc. Typical XC style riding does not use short stems because of climbing mostly so to get your weight onto the front.

Makes sense. Good luck

I don't have any available for test fitting, but I do have a 45mm Silver Funn Funnduro Stem and a 45mm Orange Funn Strippa Stem for sale (both new).
