I was quite surprised that stem was and is rock solid at the adjustment point. It locks in two directions. The strength is in the size of the post and adding a riser post won’t change the bore of the stem. Yes it’s a 1 inch stem 25.4. My thought was to put the adjuster on and figure out what worked best and then find some stem that worked. It might be a little bit heavier than a fixed stem but I don’t feel less solid.
