The Velo-Orange threadless stems have a polished sliver finish and are available in six and 17 degree rise. The Velo-Orange threadless stem steerer clamping length is 40mm, while most of the other threadless stems available in silver have a 36mm or less steerer clamping length. The extra length of the Velo-Orange threadless stem can eliminate one or two of those ugly turtle neck spacers.
