I’m looking for the shortest DM stems for 31.8mm bars. 

I have a Chromag Director which is 47mm. 

Renthal DM is 45mm

Straitline had a 28mm back when this would’ve been unheard of. 

What else is out there? 31.8 bars only. Don’t really feel like sourcing 35mm.

Spank does 35 I think, 

Edit; as short as 25mm https://spank-ind.com/collections/stems/products/spike-25-30-dm-stem

My bad, I was going to write down 31mm for a Chromag Ranger, then realized you said DM. I have an old Twenty6 DM stem, but I think it is 45/50/55 so nowhere near as short as you need. That Spank looks like the shortest one out there at 25mm.

🤮 Spank and RF are just two companies that spark no joy for myself  

Actually I’m seeing Straitline DM 28mm stems in Ti Grey and Purple Ano for $60 which might sway myself. Also have a black SSC stem so I could get loose with the stem plate colour swaps.

How about a 10mm long Mondraker DM stem from On/Off:

^ Yes yes yes... This is relevant to my likes and interests. 🤔

Appears to be available from Silverfish UK. They have the 10mm and the 20/30mm stem both on their site.

That Beetle is an ugly stem tbh. It’s noting special. I’m currently using a Straightline SSC 35mm length stem from what 2012. Renthal and Chromag have 31mm stems. 

Too bad Silverfish UK doesn’t have the On/Off 10mm regular stems. Would be funny to go absolutely extreme. I’d order both the DM and that one. The plus of those stub stems is the increased bar height.
