Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Please help can i get a steerer shim that changes my stem angle?

I've seen on specialized carbon stems that come with adjustable shims that can change the degree of the stem.
I was wondering if any knows or made one to change the degree of my stem.

I have a 1" threadless steerer
with a 1 1/8" stem clamp
i am currently using a shim adapter

please any help on this would be great,
my last resort is to buy a specialized one and cut it along the sides please help!
Here's what the specialized looks like...

Just buy a new stem with the correct rise.

I suggest you buy the Specialized stem with the different shims. those stems are designed to use the shim you can't simply get a shim to change your own stem
