yes I was being silly saying 30 degrees as I have a XL jekyll and the top tube is 1inch longer than all my other bikes and I had 80mm 5 degrees + easton mid height risers which was just too low.
I have just fitted a 130mm X 20degree with 30mm risers
Normally I would not give a 130mm stem a second look, but its on and it feels comfy - I will do 3 miles on it tonight up hill and down dale and decide if I need anything shorter- the grips feel about 10cm's higher than before
LUBO please provide the link to 80mm X20 deg....
Also QWERTY seem to be my goto retailer lately- the shortest 20deg they have is 100mm - which might do me - although they called it QSE - not sure if that is 1.56?

yes but is it 120mm at 20degrees? also make sure your saddle is all the way forward- that will help.
My jekyll is a 2003 in Blue - got it this time last year completely original- which just means it hasnt been maintained!
so last night I rode it for the first time this year after fitting crossmax SL's in the winter.
Today I have swapped out the octalink BB and fitted external BB. so Tonight I will if that has stopped the Creaking (when climbing) - if not the main bearings will be renewed.
It still had its lousie/clara brakes on and Deore shifters, so I was in the shed till 11.30pm swapping it over to XT Dual Control. took a good while as I had to disconnect the brake lines to route them properly and then bleed them!
