do it.

BRANDUNE 06-05-07 09:54 PM

Okay, srsly. I was wondering if any one has any sort of expeience with them. Its got 100mm reach and looks kinda cool, kinda seemed like something worth trying out, I just wanted some feedback

onetwentyeight 06-05-07 09:56 PM

if it can hold up to what the mtb guys do, im sure it'll be fine on a track bike. ive seen similar stems run on fixed gears before. i think it looks kinda goofy, but what ever gets you going. try it out, report back. its just a stem.

when correctly installed this stem will allow you to steer your bike

use with risers to maximize stylish appearance

but for the love of god do not cut the ends off your ourys unless you know how to color between the lines

BRANDUNE 06-05-07 10:26 PM

No I was going to use it with NJS nitto drops and champ grips...Duh!

euphoria 06-05-07 10:58 PM

uh oh...I smell a culture clash!

Just make sure the clamp diameter fits your bars.
(duh, but just sayin...)

also add an [/quote] to your sig.

BRANDUNE 06-05-07 11:16 PM

My wife has the Shorty stem on her mountain bike. Shorty comes in really short lengths is why. She likes it. Besides the clamp, I think they're 1-1/8", so you may need to run a shim if yer 1". Thomson makes nice shims.
Azonic is pretty well known for quality stuff, and that's technically a downhillers stem, so it will probably outlast you & your bike.

Sounds like Boy George met up with Joe Strummer.

My wife's is set up flipped. The bottom has a relief milled thru it for the clamp slot (clamping around the steer tube). Looks fine flipped.
