As title I'm after a short stem (~30mm) for my daughters MTB. Needs to be 25.4mm clamp for bars and standard 1 1/8 steerer fitment. The only one I can find so far is on CRC but it's a bit OTT for her needs. Just wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction.

Cheers all.

    That short in a 25.4 clamp is rare, you'll just have to shop around!

    The BMX/Jump style can be had cheap, but most are about 50mm

    Thanks Rookie, been looking for a while now, only one I've found even close is from CRC but it's probably worth more than her bike is :?

    why not use a shim?

    POAH, was thinking along the same lines so ordered a shim last night. Gives me a lot more options.

    Cheers mate was thinking about that but have gone for the shims and have ordered a new stem. Hopefully will sort out her slight over reach.

    If she has an offset seatpost and inline would correct back about 20mm of that without affecting steering.

    Doh, never thought of that! Can't remember if it's offset or in line, will check later when I get home.

    Cheers Rookie.
