help me find a right stem



Forgive me if I use the wrong words when identifying certain parts of the bike.

Here is a generic photo of my bike. I would like to get a shorter stem.

Handle bar diameter is 26mm
Diameter of quill?(part the goes into bike frame) is 22.2
Center of quill bolt to center of handle bar hole is 120mm

I'd like to get another similar setup that is adjustable and has a stem length of 95mm.

I can't seem to find one.

Any help would be great

Does it have to be adjustable? I can't find very much with 26.0 clamp diameter.

A roundabout way to getting what you desire is to buy a threadless stem adapter and use an adjustable threadless stem.

Adapter
Adjustable stem

This is available in 95mm but then you also have to buy a handlebar shim

Thanks. It doesn't have to be adjustable with this method. I can just order some spacers.

If its a quill stem in a threaded fork, there aren't any spacers.

There's a guy named Chris Froome who is the world's #1 expert in stems, if you can find him.

Sorry, don't mean to add a useless post to this thread.

Nitto Technomic stem will give you a lot of height adjustability...but they don't come on black.
