What is the highest rise quill stem made?

[samh]

In other words, what stem can get your handle bar grips the furthest from earth?

[Ron Mc]

has to be the Nitto Technomic 280 - I've seen these at Rakuten in Japan, which is difficult shopping.  

here at SJS in the UK

I've bought several items from SJS - their algorithm is little weird, but they will subtract VAT (17%) and their shipping is reasonable ($15-ish).

 Using a threadless quill adapter you can go higher than the traditional quill because you can use 0 degree and greater threadless stems. Nitto themselves makes a MTC-04 Tall , which uses the same 225mm quill as the Tallux, but of course you use your own threadless stem so you can go even higher than the -17 degree Tallux.

With a +10 or +17 degree stem you may be able to get as high or higher than the Technomic 280, which is limited to only 100mm long.

I've got a Soma (Japan not SF) with a stem that's easily twice the length of the tallest nitto. Weirdly small size though. When I got it off of Craigslist and took it home for an overhaul I figured the previous rider had set it dangerously high, but when I loosened it up and gave a yank it just kept coming. It's ridiculous.

One has to ask that if you need a stem a foot tall if you are on the wrong sized bike.

I use a 10 cm Nitto dirt drop. I have a bad back (3 surgeries) and bad carpal tunnel syndrome too (3 surgeries). My Atlantis is on the small side of Riv's suggested sizing. I find the dirt drop high enough that I don't need to run the stem all the way up.

There is a longer quill version of the dirt drop too.

doesn't look like it comes in anything other than 25.4mm clamp though.

For the record, I have one on my Clem, a NITTO Technomic NTC-280 Stem
