No rise threadless stems
I just got a Specialized Langster and want to swap out the stem. I am looking for a black threadless stem (1-1/8" steering tube, 26mm bars) that has no rise and is 90-100mm. I would prefer to not spend much money, but I am having trouble finding anything at this point. Any ideas?

It kind of depends on what you mean by "no rise". If it was a Zero degree rise, then the stem is at 90 deg to the steerer, which gives it about 17 deg of rise from the head tube angle.
If you want a stem to be parallel to the ground, then it would be -17 deg stem.
I am just curious, exactly what it is you want in relationship to the bike itself?

My current stem is the stock Langster stem, I am not sure the rise or exact length. The stem is flippable and with it up the bars are a bit high and with it down the bars are too low. It seems like a straight stem would put the bars where I want them.
