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?

You know, I thought VO stems were like 75 bucks. Finally found a stem worth buying, I refuse to pay 90 bucks for aesthetics.

110, looks like 6 deg, yes.

Also have their threaded to threadless stem adapter. I remember I got this setup for my Specialized Epic way back in the day.

Just got back from a ~1500mi road trip up to Oregon -- Man i love that place! Signed up for a 6.5mi trail run race on a whim without any training and my IT bands hated me for doing it. Hopefully won't mess up my biking that much!

I got something I sent in to GCN featured on the show, and they pronounced my last name properly. Good day.

Yup, they used some photos I sent in which I found from a Colombian collegiate cycling team, a snake got sliced up in disc brake rotors

For real. That movie is great. I didn't like the other two movies from the trilogy as much, though. You guys should also watch another great Korean movie called Castaway on the Moon.

@Huffandstuff, I got an unused silver 120mm RaceFace Cadence you can have for $10, pickup in Kenton or downtown Vancouver. It's not shiny silver, it's a beadblasted finish.

1-1/8" steerer, 31.8 clamp.

I think it's 8°

I need something with a 31.8mm open face clamp. After that, nitto only has their UI-5GX, the thomson-esque UI-252CNC, and the pricey steel craft 5 stem.

VO's normal height threadless stems look cheap and overpriced to me. They seem to just be rebranded el cheapo dimension stems. I appreciate the variety they bring to the table though with their other stuff.

I think Ritchey has just 1 silver stem, the classic.

I've done the silver thomson x2's to death. I want something to change it up.

Yes sir! Drove back across the 20 to get to the 101 from the 5 -- it was crazy seeing how burned up everything was. Crazy fire for sure
