Title: Long ass stems?
Post by: Serge_K on April 07, 2025, 02:39:35 AM
I put a friend on an XS frame because she's got short legs (I guess), and with a 120 stem and the saddle all the way back, she says she wants to stretch out more. She's able to ride my gravel bike in size L, but she could barely touch the pedals.

What options do we have for long ass stems? I guess at least 140, and maybe up to 180? That sounds crazy, but she might be an outlier, and importantly, i dont know how to fit women on bikes, so i'm curious about options.

Internal cable routing, so ideally, the stem would have a somewhat elegant interface with the headset / steerer so the cables can disappear elegantly, but that's not the end of the world. The good thing is, she's on a 2 piece cockpit, so we're only looking for a stem.

You sure she's still talking about a bike?  ;D

Colors are Black and Red.  Good colors for something so long.

Those seem like the best bet. Uno stems only go up to 130 I believe. Didn’t realize there was such a steep price hike for longer stems.
