ControlTech Direct Connect stem....40-45mm and 5* rise. This reminds me of the old-school motorcross stems? I wanted something shorter and stiffer than the Thomson 90mm 10* + or - for the Rocky Mountain 29er, after looking for a super stiff, durable/quality/flex-free stem that matches the technology of Thomson, this is the one for me....Only a few left in the UK for purchase also.

 I think these are super strong bro....I wanted red, then blue, then red lol. It been on my mind a few years to run one but never got round to doing it? Nearly went for it last Xmas for my Status? Could of gone 35-40mm but I think 45mm will be sweet for the 29er. I ripped the back of my shoulder out on last weeks downhill on the Turner. I hit her hard !!! Still can't sleep on my right side or lift my arm fully? The 90mm flat stem on a XL 29er was the issue I think, so I gone down to a 35mm Answer DJ stem, so let's see if it pops out again?

 I used to have one of these, mine was an azonic hammer? Weird stems. Felt ok though.

 1.1/8th and only normal bars 31.8....5* rise and 30-40mm or 35-45mm....I got the latter. I don't need lightness on a 29er, I need stiff and strong. I think i pulled my shoulder out of joint after last weeks down the forest run on an XL Turner with 90mm flat stem...way too long !! Put an Answer 35mm DJ stem to calm things down and bring everything closer.

 Normal bars, 25.4mm?
I think 70mm is pushing it for most stems. Your should ok now? I like the answer stems.
