Thanks for bringing that stem to my attention, even though i only have a speculative answer for you:
By all means, make sure the steerer extends well past the clamp slot relief hole as a minimum, and preferably at least half way up the intersection of the horizontal extension tube. I think there would be some levearage stress otherwise, that could lead to cracks. I've cracked the clamp on a two-bolt threadless stem where the steerer didn't extend far enough past the lower bolt. Slightly different situation... but similar. Don't forget that you'd need a long pre-tension cap bolt to reach the star nut. Don't cheap out on the grade of that, or it could shear. Agree on the threaded wish. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
