Stem
I have stock stem which is adjustable and length about 10cm, and planning to buy new one - can't really decide wich one.. Maybe one wich rises little and length around 5cm..
So, question is, what stem you guys are usingon your hybrid bike? |
I've used adjustable stems before on my bikes - I think an XLC and a Sunlite. Now I only use them to dial in the length and rise I need for a bike. I never had problems on the hybrids or my road bike, but I had minor issues with the adjustable stem loosening or shaking on mountain bikes.
On my hybrid, I've actually gone back to the stock stem; my road bike has the original stem back on, flipped and a couple of spacers above the stem; my mountain bike got a longer stem with less rise than the stock stem. Short story - use an adjustable stem to find out what rise and length you need on a stem, then replace it with the right sized stem. |
Still using the ITM CNC adjustable stem that stem with my ITM trekking bars, If I were to replace it, this is what Id get
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/stems/11...m-clamp-black/ but there are lots of companies making stems https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/stems-1-18-ahead-standard/ rise is a degree number , and you say you want it shorter, too 50mm, 5cm.. is pretty short.. I have one that length on my bike friday .. ... |
How do those stems work for threadless setups where there is no separate top cap? Is there a hidden landing inside on which the adjustment bolt head bears down, and you adjust headset tension with that and then cinch down with the clamp bolts to make it permanent?
