The annoying thing is that the M size comes with a 90mm stem, and I even tried to order one, but no luck. The 2016 Pro and Expert look as though they have this also, so beware.
Ok, that truly sucks! Absolute deal breaker as far as I'm concerned. Don't know what else to say, other than I hope you find a solution. Please post a followup if you do.
