Looking for a good 140mm+ stem: what are my options?

[benitosan1972]

Something between a 6*-17* something like 10* would be perfect.
Alloy or carbon, road 31.8 clamp, something nice and stiff (obviously).
Before turning to Google, eBay, or CL... thought I'd check & ask here.

Most stock stems seem to max out at 130mm, and I know Pro's use 140mm+
(although on bikes that are usually 1-2 sizes too small for them), but what's out there? Or should I seek custom or a seatpost with more setback?

The older I get, the longer my arms/reach seem to get, I'll look like a gorilla by the time I'm 50, lol.

FSA OS99 comes in a 140. I've seen -6* , i think -17 also exists.

3T makes their ARX stem in a 140 mm -17 degree.

I like the Deda Zero100, comes in 86°, 82°, black, white and silver'ish. There is also a Pista at 70°.

Changing your setback is a bad idea if it's working for you as is.

Specialized offers lots of choices, and with adjustable angle range via a secondary sleeve.

[Admiral Ackbar]

3t and zipp do, they'd be my first choice. you could also get a really nice custom steel stem from someone like eric @ winter

I think I have a 3T 140 (can't remember Team or Pro, but I'm getting the feeling it has red on it, so Pro, right? Think it is +/- 6 degrees) that I don't think I'll ever use. I sold off the bikes that are too small. I'm pretty sure it came to me new. Shoot me a PM if you want some pics. $45 shipped?

Believe it or not Team is the expensive one.

P.S. It's a shame Deda doesn't offer the Zero100 Servizio Corse in -17.

PRO has a -10 140. I have a carbon wrapped one that I do not use. PM if interested.

[DRZRM]

Yeah, that's right. Red is Team, white is Pro. Mine's a 3T ARX-Team, red striped, 140, +/- 6, appear that it has never been slipped over a steerer or had a bar in it.

Pro Vibe has a good 140mm one at -10 degree.

Ritchey also makes a 4-axis in 140mm but it is +-6 degree.

[VanBikeGuy]

I have the Pro Vibe in 140mm if interested. PM me a reasonable offer.

[benitosan1972]

I will be responding individually to the offers for the 3T's and Pro Vibe's.
Thanks for the suggestions, and no, I'm not changing my setback, but
if my stem length gets any longer, soon I'll look like Superman, ouch
