Ok I think i know where the measurment comes from but just want to make sure.

I want to upgrade my stem to something a little bit shorter, I currently have a Mirraco m3 and find it just a bit long I think it's 65mm (Measured fom centre of stem bolt to centre of Bars) I'm lookin at the Odyssey elementry v3, Profile h.i.p & Fly mosca any comments or suggestions on these stems ?

cheers.

Not sure,but most stems are 53-56mm reach? 65mm does seem a tad long.Want to see more of the UKBIKECO stem as it`s real short & looks interesting.

And I`d like to try a free one for the the plug!

~I have this brand new Kore stem for sale £15 posted made for oversized bars comes with shim to fit bmx bars. Reach is 35 mm. Any good to you?

There's quite a few out there around the 45mm range that would probably suit and if you get one with gyro tabs, that's one less piece of matal on yer bike...

Have a look at this - 48mm reach and tabs.

Cheers G,
Had a look at the Eastern quite nice but still prefer the Profile in polished to match their imperial sprocket that I just ordered. Well atleast I found my brake plate here and just ordered it so will be running front u brake soon, all I need now are my chrome rims and I think My ride should be pimped to my liking.......

Changed my bars to my old trusted peregrine Q2's now painted white and changed rear brake to a Demolition Vulcan (Major stopping power) and with only about a month of work left it'll soon be time to get back on my bike more often.
