Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

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

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.

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.
