how would one go about deciding which stem to buy? there are a bajilion brands and i am a newb. im looking for a long one, say 100 or 120 mm to go on a specialized 05 P.2 to give me some more leverage and leg room than the 40mm thats on there now.

Buy blind.
I have the husserfelt on my dj/ urban assult rig and since it is a urban/dj rig trials is pretty hard on it. Basic trial moves can be done, but not with ease.

It does probley help that I do have a trials rig aswell, so movement is common ground.

i'd just look around for the cheapest stem that will work or put a wtb up in the sell/buy section. my friend found this p.o.s. stem in a free bucket outside a lbs that sells used shit. i dont know how it hasnt broken. mabey its cause he has front suspension

I've got a basic mtwb stem thats 120 X 20 DEg rise that I used on an old low B/B that I had...it felt really comfy....i'd sell it for real cheap!!
