I'm trying to get comfy on my drop bar conversion - it's got 1" quill type converter, but it's too short so I've bought a new, longer one.

The plan was to put the existing stem on this now raised quill ahead converter, but it turns out that my existing one is 1" clamp. A 1" stem clamp! Even SJS only has one of those! It didn't occur to me it wouldn't be 1 1/8.

Anyway, I need a stem to put on it to see if it's more comfortable - something about 80mm and 35 degrees, with a 31.8mm clamp would be perfect, but I'll consider anything that looks roughly right so I can get a reference.

Thanks - I was rather hoping to get a second hand one as I'm not sure yet what size will be comfortable, so I might need to try a few. The plan was to ride it with the one I have (100mm) at the higher setting and take it from there, but I can't attach the bars to the higher steerer at the moment!
 
I have a couple I think that may be an option...
slightly unsure on how I measure them but have gone centre to centre when it is in situ (so not hypotenuse of triangle).

One measures that way at 55mm and the other 70mm (pictures attached so you can see how I measured them... angle I took the pictures at is not helping matters though! :laugh:)
