A reputable Short stem 75-80mm?
Hi,
I'm looking to get a shorter stem (to compensate for a longer Top Tube) that is about 75mm to be exact. Well, 75mm-80mm would work fine. I was recommended the Nitto Threadless UI-5GX stem, but it looks like the shortest they go is 90mm.
What are the effects of getting such a short stem? Twitchiness in handling? Less stability? Any pros?
Also, is it not wise to get a shorter stem to compensate for a longer top tube? Should I worry about stem angles?
Thanks guys for your patience!
