Which stem length should I choose?

Stem length depends on your reach to the bars. A general guide: shorter riders (under 170cm) typically use 60–70mm; taller riders (over 180cm) often use 80–90mm. The best approach is to get a professional bike fit or measure your current stem and adjust based on comfort.

Can I flip this stem to get a positive rise?

No — this stem is designed as a -10° drop stem only and is not a flip-flop design. For a positive rise, you would need a different stem model with a positive angle.

Is 6061 aluminium strong enough for road cycling?

Yes — 6061 aluminium alloy is the industry standard for alloy stems and handlebars. It is more than adequate for road and gravel cycling loads. Only replace with carbon if weight savings are a priority.
