FirstTime_Lurker on December 2, 2025 5:35 pm Yes, many companies make short stems, some as low as 26mm reach. 40mm is not uncommon.
GeneralSignificant54 on December 2, 2025 5:36 pm Should be fine, its 6061 and the sizes check out? dont think they made it that much different than any other stem
j_dekk on December 2, 2025 5:44 pm Fully grown adult here. I’m currently running that exact stem. No issues whatsoever so far.
dermsUK on December 2, 2025 7:34 pm Its forged rather than CNC’d so there is a compromise on quality but unless you’re like 200lbs bombing stairs like Sean Burns I think you’ll be good
