Anyone have experience with seriously short stems?
The darkside i have on order will probably be just a touch long with a regular stem, thinking of going with a 10mm direct mount stem, as specced on the Mondraker Summum.
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.
