Azonic Shorty Question

[Azonic DS1]

Am looking at an Azonic Shorty at the minute, where do they measure the given length from, ie 75mm, is it...

Center of steerer to center of handelbar

or

is the 75mm the total distance between the steerer and handelbar?

always thought it was themid point steerer ctr to the bar ctr

Hmm, in which case 75mm would be quite short, interesting.

so about 50 mm of land between the 2 clamps
usually with a big rise 20/30 degree

Hmmm, the one i'm looking at states 75mm with 10° rise, maybe i want something a little longer then. I'm trying to scale off of an old picture, its proving hard!

the shorty was as stated a short dh/jumpy stem
nice looking bit of kit tho
what is your intended use

Its complicated! lol I'm trying to rebuild my old bike exactly how it was when i sold it. It had a 'no name' CNC stem on it (an Azonic shorty copy) that i got from Leisure Lakes. What i'll do is scan the picture i'm working with tomorrow and see what you guys think.

 

[mikee]

probably an aomeba stem tho there were others in a similar style
think trans x branded ones too
whats the bike ,just interested thats all

Clue could be the chaps username

Yep wang up a pic and we will almost certainly be able to tell the difference between the 50/75/100mm . Was it a world force you had ?
