An adjustable might help you find what fits, but usually after that people ditch them for something lighter and less lame.
Also, don't pay $50 for an adjustable stem, just walk into a shop and give them $10 for one they took off of a hybrid or something. Of course, if it's a good shop they'll help you dial in your fit and then sell you the stem you actually need.
When I say sprint, I mean out of saddle sprinting - something track drop drops aren't designed for. You weren't paying attention to the OP or the follow-up post. I'm interested in an adjustable stem so I can utilize various bars, and idealy, different angles on the fly. I don't need any shopping tip advice either, but thanks
