Hi again. So it seems I'm having a hard time finding a stem. I went to the LBS and they didn't really have anything that would work for me. I found the Nitto Techonomic online, but am not sure if it's the right stem. The current stem I have is 60mm, with a negative rise. The reach seems okay, but the stem is way too low. I found other stems by Nitto online, too - the Periscopa and the Dirtdrop and I can't figure out what to get. I need the handlebars up a couple of inches at least and can't figure out the whole angle thing. If I buy a stem with a positive angle of ___, how much closer will that bring the handlebars closer to me? From what I understand, if I have a stem with a big angle, I could get a stem that is longer than 60mm, right?
I also would like to spend $30 or less if possible.
Any input would be helpful.
