The stealth aspect appealed to me too. Neither the stem or seat post are going to call much attention to themselves.
So I’m interested in the ShockStop stem and I am thinking about the +30 degree, 100mm length. Unfortunately, my existing stem is only 70mm. It looks like you have the +30 but just wanted to know for sure which size did you get? Any thoughts on how that angle is working out for you? Did you have to change spacers?
You are correct, mine is the +30 degree, 100mm version. The part that grips the steering tube is 40mm, the angled part that holds the handlebars is roughly 100mm. I thought it might end up with the bars a bit lower than I previously had my Bontrager adjustable stem, but it seems pretty close to what I had before... the angle is good for me. I am using the most flexible of the inserts (one only) and it hasn’t bottomed out.
I can only suggest looking at your bike’s stem specs and compare them with this web site.

It seems likely the 30 degree model would be best suited. The 6 degree versions, being nearly horizontal, might not supply much movement at all.

ShockStop Suspension Stem
The minimal design of the ShockStop Stem blends seamlessly with the aesthetic of modern bikes, while reducing fatigue and strain. Along with the ShockStop Suspension Seatpost, this system works together to suspend the rider and smooth out rough terrain on the bike you already own, making your...
I’m looking for any lift I can get, in addition to the shock suppression value so the +30 was a no brainer as long as it will fit.
It fits a standard 1 1/8” steering post. Shims are available if your handle bars need them.
