Low stack height stem options
Moderator: robbosmans
I bought a spare (s6e) fork for my caad12. It has been cut too short.
I planned to run it slammed but it is cut too short and wouldn't be safe with my current stems. It is cut about 7mm too short so I need a low stack stem (30mm). So far I have only found basso semi integrated which is 25mm height but quite heavy. Any other options you know of?
Thanks

I'm not an engineer so tell me I'm wrong but couldn't you get an existing 2nd hand aluminum alloy stem and carefully file it down to size; 3.5mm off both sides or better yet use a facing tool to do the job even more accurately? It may not be cost effective with facing or highly accurate with hand filing, but maybe the eco option?
