lechatnoir Posted June 13, 2022 Share I had a bike fit and my roadbike's 100mm stem needs to be replaced with a a 60mm stem. Howeve... the fork steerer is 3 (no, it's not a Giant) and as you can imagine, scarcity is my challenge. Does anyone know where I can get a 60mm stem for a 31.8mm steerer and 31.8mm bar diameter?

cadenceblur Posted June 13, 2022 Share on another note, that will make for a very twitchy steering! Sid the Sloth and ACE Cycles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your bike is at least 1 size too big for you Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I'm on a large Spez Chisel mtb, and ideally, that should be an Xl to get my saddle in the right position. cadenceblur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road bike bars are super narrow so no, it won't make the steering too twitchy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted June 13, 2022 Share 1.25 stems are basically just Giant at the moment. you might get lucky with a PRO  unit but it’s not a popular size steerer tube anylonger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it'll have to be Giant. From my searching, it's NOT popular at all, so expecting my choice of rise angle would be unreasonable - I'll take what I get.

droo Posted June 13, 2022 Share Dragons have 3 options in stock, 2 cheap and cheerful and one very much not. Any LBS with a Dragons account will be able to get you one. Beyond that you might battle. ChrisF and lechatnoir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulienR Posted June 13, 2022 Share You might find that you can go to a slightly longer stem if you use a narrower set of bars (if that fits you) and it you move your shifters closer to you. again there are limits to what can and cant be done but this may assist you if you cant get a stem... lechatnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a 420mm bar, so not much wiggle room there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
