you can always call me order one and if it doesnt work send it back ... no problem
Hmmmm, I will think about it. But I have the fit dialed in ... I want the adjustable stem for a compact fold.

I always thought that the stem angle was measured from 90 degrees such that 180 would be vertical. The idea would be to set a vertical angle when folding.

Notice what the gentleman does here with the stem in this video ...

I would like to find that stem but with a long reach.
