The real value of the ergostem is when you are tinkering with your fit. Buying every length/angle combination of stem is expensive and swapping them out is time consuming. I primarily used mine for that reason and once I settled on a length and angle, I would buy the equivalent rigid stem.

So, having a custom adjustable stem made probably won't be any stiffer than what you've already got. Plus, ideally, you'll want to swap it out for a rigid stem once you settle on a position.

It's a cool project. But, I don't think it's gonna solve any problem that the Ergostem isn't already solving.

One question:

Do you have the quill ergostem?




or the modern one?
