Hi guys

So I managed to get a NOS Surly Pacer for a great price.

I always have a few problems not being that flexible but the pacers geo is a little more upright than my previous bike which I embarrassingly had to fit a stem riser too!!

I've flipped the stem on the Surly and its nearly perfect I just could do it with being 10mm or 20mm closer to me.

The details of the stem that came with the bike are below. Can anyone advise me or even better link me in to a stem which gives me same angle (therefore height) but is just a 1cm/2cm closer to me.

Heres a link to the Bike specs too - I got a 56cm Frame.

Thanks

stem:Kalloy AS-025N 31.8mm. Black
stem angle: 7.0°

Use this calculator - http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php

A 90mm stem @ 10 degrees would give you zero rise and bring the bars 11mm closer as an example.

I’ve used the Spesh multi stem in the past as it lets you try a decent range of set ups without having to buy a new stem each time.
