Hello

I am sorry that I wasn't active in this forum for long time.

Anyway, I have an extra Look Ergostem Oversized stem playing around in my apartment and I would like to share the stem with the members so you could have a perfect fit on your beautiful track bike.

So, if you want to borrow the stem for few months please tell me. I will let you use it for few months.

If this is illegal in this forum, I will delete this post

I might ask for deposit, if you are not a long time member.

That's really nice of you.

This is a great offer of help. I own an Ergostem, and it was not cheap, but at the time I bought it it was the only thing like it in existence. Something like this is essential for some people to get a proper fit with aerobars on certain frames. However, there are cheaper options now. I'm seeing these on peoples TT setups in Japan now: SATORI - Riding fueled innovation

They look to go for around $50.

That Satori stem looks interesting. So does their RAM road bar.

The single-pivot adjustable stems are a completely different deal to the Ergostem and copies. Not particularly useful in my experience.

The single pivot ones are only good if you know what angle and length will get you the nonstandard position you need. For example, if you know you need 90mm length at -30 degrees, then you can get a single pivot stem to put you there, otherwise, a dual pivot stem is necessary to really dial in your position.

To echo what they have said.

Once you try a dual pivot, you won't consider single pivot stem.

Further, even though the Ergostem has two pivot points held by 1 bolt each, it is strong enough for powerful standing starts.

I do regret selling mine with the LOOK 496.

BTW, the Erogostem would also extend as far as 140mm.

The Japanese stem looks good, but it looks too short.
Look ergostem extends up to 150mm
However, it's a really heavy stem.

I have a Satori. It's pretty good. There are a few problems with it: there's a pretty limited number of lengths, and, though it's got two pivots (great!), the pivot on the steerer tube has a limited range of motion. It also takes near complete disassembly to change its orientation.

But, it's been very helpful for me to work on a few different riders' TT positions.
