Looking for a 70mm stem for my felt f85 2013 it has a control taper 1.125-1.5 . Not looking to spend a fortune (£30-£40) or cheaper any ideas what I should be looking at.
Thanks
Thanks

A frame that fits better
Could be small framed? Or female?

That might require a bespoke frame. Or some limb lengthening. Possibly a shorter stem is a cheaper, simpler solution with no negative aspects aside from there not being space for a computer on the stem.
Some people suggested that the steering would become too sensitive; yes it did make it slightly more sensitive but I got used to it within 10 mins of riding. For me it seems a combo of "long legs/short torso" on an aggressive frame means I need to resort to a shorter stem.
If you want cheap.... you'll find lots of oversized stems for MTBs - they don't all all look like they are designed for dirt jumping.
Why? Did my back in big time styley in 2008, the "silly" stem made things borderline as to whether I could ride the bike or not without pain. But then I got the Tricross bargain and the Felt gathered dust for ~5 years until two weeks ago, but even though I do still have the odd day of back agro, at the mo I do wonder about refitting the original ~100mm stem or the multi-angle ~100mm Specialized stem...
Might even be tempted by one of the PX bargains!
