i have that same stem (ringle zooka??) for sale at the mo, but in 120mm length!
just in case you realise your arms are not quite that long!

Stem seems to fit ok with temp seat on it but keep you in mind feller if need shorter one,,,thanks

well as thought the adaptor didnt fit front calliper,,,,ment to be for 160 disc,,any how managed to find a saddle and the rear calliper went on all ok apart from few washers to line calliper up with disc.
need a nine speed chain xtr if any one has one for sale,,
