Wasn't it on the GTs of the Athertons?Cesar Rojo didHi liked it
I am considering getting one for my 2015 bike, as I might get M size instead of usual S.
I think I've seen another ultra short stem lately, but I can't recall what was it...
Thank would be PRO stem...?!

I ran a 35mm on a large instead of a 50mm on a medium and really liked it. Stretched me out a bit and seemed to allow me to correct eff-ups before they became big problems. It's a more upright position with these things, so you may have to switch to a lower or (dear God no) flat bar.
Anyways, if you have a long enough bike, go for it. I have no time on a super shorty but it looks like a lot of people, even mondraker athletes, have ditched it for a 35 or so.

Yeah,figured a 0 or 10mm stem necessarily will stack a bit, so a 10mm rise bar isn't out of the question.
Thanks for the feedback, all.
