Short stems

Hi All.
Anybody knows about very short stems (30-40 mm), that looks like as road (not DH 'brick'). Bar clamp not oversize.

I personally don't know of any stem that short. If you need a 30mm stem sounds like your top tube is way too long. I would be looking at a new frame instead of a stem. Good luck

Dear cs1.
Thank you for reply.
Now i have 75 mm stem. My frame was designed for flat handle bar, but i set up road bar (my personal preference). And when i lay hand on hoods, my fitting is small lenghty. Therefore i find short stem.
Unfortunately, i do not possibility change my frameset. It is my bicycle: https://www.photoshare.ru/photo268353.html
What you opinion about this?

Couple other ways to solve your problem as well. Move the saddle forward a little &/or buy a handlebar that has a shorter reach. Ritchey BioMax Pro, Salsa Short & Shallow are a few.

do not move your saddle back. That places more weight on your hands.

Thank you. Very elegant solve. I really not known about short reach handlebars.
===========================
A standard road bike handlebar is 155mm of drop and 100 mm of reach. The Short & Shallow is 144mm of drop and 82mm of reach.
===========================
Very good for me.

Sincerelly yours, Viacheslav aka Oxygen H.
