1" 1\4 steerer with stem slammed - ways to lower front end?

gin0rm0

Hi,

I have a Giant TCR Advanced SL with a Ritchey 6/84 stem. The stem is slammed and would like to get the front end lower if possible. I'm unable to find a stem with a lower angle or a lower headset top bearing. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Smaller frame.

^^That's not 1 1/4"!

According to this, it might be worth trying Canyon: http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/?showtopic=66746

Specialised CLP stem may be an option, it has 2 or 3 different shims to tweak the angle to how you like, so adjustable without being like one of those dumb truly adjustable stems.

Or more aggressive frame

If you let all the air out of the front tyre that would drop it by a couple of mm.

Thanks MajorMantra. I'll contact Canyon.

Did you have any joy with Canyon?

I'm having this issue too. Ritchey used to do a -17 stem in 1 1/4 but doesnt seem to exist anymore which is a shame.

Spesh stems without the shim are 1 1/2 so would need a thinner shim to take it down to 1 1/4 but cant see any.

IIRC Canyon only do the Ritchey 4 Axis +/- 6 degree stem in 1.25 or perhaps their new Canyon stems.
