Seriously? Knuckleheads? Because you are trying a really bad idea and knowing how bicycles work we know that that short of a stem will not be good for steering and safety and generally if you need that there are fit issues on that bike.

I get that people want to think that because someone didn't validate their bad ideas they must be bad people but I can assure you we aren't. Saying you need a bike that fits isn't trying to be nasty towards you nor is it a political statement or anything like that it is literally telling you something you may not want to hear but you need to hear. Some people actually care about your safety despite your negative thinking that somehow we don't. I also understand an echo chamber can be fun but sometimes you need to hear something else.
