The Satori has a cylindrical not the split style, a much better look than the Delta. The delta is split clamp.

Interesting. Very true that they all turn solid at the top. I will say the ones I've used are split past the top of max insertion point of the tube. There is a mechanical lip that prevents over insertion. Is that enough to equalize the pressure? Hard to say, especially with the low torque points.
I have, use, and enjoy a stem riser on one of my mountain bikes. It's a cheap no-name from Amazon and it's worked fine. It's on an aluminum steer tube, though, and I don't think there are generally any concerns with such a setup. I use it as a "soft roader" bike only, and don't subject the bar or stem or riser to any loads higher than what I'd consider "moderate" trail type riding. |

Don't understand the hostility. Guess that is just your nature.
As to your statements, yes, real high school level physics. But a very condescending thing to say to someone trying to understand. |

Nobody here is being hostile or condescending. You have been told by a few people in this thread that you are wrong, yet you double down. As Kontact said, it is not OK to try and convince people that warnings on products should be ignored. That is whether it is bike stem extenders or ladders.
I think this thread has run its course, there is enough information here for people to make their own choice. Have a nice day. Need to go adjust the headset on my stem extended bike, it needs a tweak after I replaced the front fork. |

Listen to the warnings but ask questions. I learned a few things so worthwhile discussion.
At the end of the day, it's not whether the odds are in your favor. It's what are the consequences of being wrong? |
