handlebar stem 3 degrees rise

[e-rider]

does anyone know of a 3 or 4 degree stem, as opposed to the normal 6 degree stem?

What size bar?

normal 'oversized' bars - that is a really old style stem for the old size narrow bars

Ok. How about an adjustable one? They come for oversize bars

Or a 4 deg one from specialized. 31.8mm is oversized I think?

what stem do you currently have?

Another option is to drop the current stem on the steerer tube my moving spacers about and using a 'standard' 6 degree stem.

There's a calculator here: http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php

E.g 100mm stem on 73 degree steerer angle. 3 degree on 30mm spacers puts bars in same place as 6 degrees on 25 mm of spacers below.

that looks interesting but I don't quite understand how it works - from what I can see, it's a normal 6 degree stem with shims, which require a long steerer tube to make work!??????????? so just a standard stem with spacers!

well in the positive position yes, however I have a road bike and want a negative position

Ok that was only a quick example but downward works too ......

100mm stem on 73 degree steerer angle. -3 degree on 25mm spacers puts bars in same place as -6 degrees on 30mm of spacers below.

Either way you may be able to change soacets about to get to where you want to be.

yes but my steerer tube has a max of 24mm so it would be nice to have 6 degrees with 30mm spacers but that's not an option hence my post and my search for a 3 deg stem

The figures I quoted are only for example (hence the e.g. In my first post). You can plug in your own figures and see what your options are. As you are looking for 3 or 4 degree stem I guess you're not fussed about a millimetre or two difference so that gives you a bit of leeway.

The figures will work with all 5mm differences within the limits of your steerer.
