I have to ask this question here and not in rec,bicycles.tech. Only a racer can tell me, not a tech person. What is the stiffest stem on the market today ? Salsa is not going to make the cromoly stem till spring. It used to be the stiffest one. But I need one now and would like to have that stiff feeling to the bar during a sprinting effort.

Any racer is going to tell you that his stem is the stiffest.

Don't go starting an arms race on me Scott. If you get a stiff stem, then I'll just have to go find one even stiffer.
I used to use ITM's steel stems, They were inexpensivce and very solid. But they don't seem to make them any more. I've used Salsas before too and they were also very solid. Profile used to make ok steel stems too. I'd look for one of those three on ebay if I were you. I have a 15 cm Tioga T-Bone 1" quill stem I'd sell you. Interested?
My guess is that one of those one piece carbon bar/stem combos is the stiffest thing you could buy.

Whatever Eddy Planckaert was using when he won the 1988 Ronde van Vlaandaren should give you that stiff feeling to the bar during a sprint.
I'd like to confirm the absence of penile dysfunction in this household and confirm the expected arrival of Son No. 1 around 5th June 2006. Initial scans indicate long femurs, which bodes well for the future.

Mounted at his end of the changing table, black/white images to start. IME, babies love these, notwithstanding initial parental scoffing. (Note: the Wimmer-Ferguson item, along with Gerber diapers, can be difficult to locate for purchase. I don't know why.)
You're quite welcome, Mr. Fleming. A contribution to your favorite charity will be fine... --D-y
