50mm stem with shock absorption

Does anyone on the forum know if such a thing exists?  Cane Creek and Redshift don't make stems that short and I don't find any on an internet search. 

I think, there is no indeed. If I understood correctly, the link needs space and response is bad, if it's to short.

 

See ya!

Was bored and checked Kinekt and Vecnum as well, only seems to go to 80/90.  Your best bet might be a lowered 35° Redshift if the stem isn't already slammed.

Thanks.  I tried a Redshift high angle stem 80mm 30 deg and it just felt sketchy handling-wise.  The 50mm seems to fit me better than the RS high angle stem as well.  

I think you might be right (not enough space for the elastomers)... or since most short stems are geared for MTBers which already have suspension in their forks, no one has tried to fit elastomers in a shorter stem. 

If you want to get really creative and spend a lot of money you could get those Fasst flexx flat handlebars, hack off the flat bars, and use the center suspension part for custom carbon bars from Drew over at Real Cycles.  Not sure he's doing drop bars yet, but when I asked him about doing a custom eesilk seatpost he seemed intrigued. 

I think 80mm is about as low as they can go with the current design of shock stems
