Salsa used to do them I think, they would crop up on eBay from time to time. The device to fit in place of your stem that can be pulled back and forth and raised up and down to help decide perfect stem length and rise..

I'm desperately trying to source the best fitting stem for my Cotic escapade, am usually quite good at dialling my fit in but for some reason it eludes me on this bike, I'm on my fourth or fifth best guess at the moment and still not satisfied.

If anyone has a link to cheap versions or can lend me theirs i'd be much obliged!

This [url= http://alex.phred.org/stemchart/Default.aspx ]stem height/length and angle comparison chart[/url] is quite good to give you an idea of what changes will be made when you swap out stems, I used it loads of times in the shop as sometimes it helps to have a visual reference

I could post it down to you if you get stuck. The main thing about it is you can't use it for riding - if you need to do a ride or two to get the position right, then maybe an adjustable stem is a better option.

Cheers Ben, I'll likely drop you an email. Remind me what the contraption is called again?
