i'm looking into getting a new stem, and am considering something that (because there's no apparent agreement when it comes to measurements/angles) is furthest away from a 90degree angle and has a long reach.

so i'm looking for some input as to what the specs are on the stems you all use (if you can't get specs, pics would be sweet) and what reason, if any, you have for using said stems.

thanks

Minus about 17 degrees gives you a stem that is horizontal with the ground (whereas a 90 degree stem is not a far a reach as there will be a slight rise) and 130 mm is about as long as stems usually come.
