[RBW] Re: New Nitto x Blue Lug Power Stem

[Eric Marth]

Funny that in their blog post Nitto shares two of Ron's bikes with the 
Uncle Ron's Back Bars and yet this new stem wouldn't work with 'em!

[RBW] Re: New Nitto x Blue Lug Power Stem

[Collin A]

While cool and useful, I think Nitto/others need to figure out a better 
method for welding/brazing the threaded portions of the stem face plate. 
Currently (sample size of 3 for me), each stem and set of threaded sections 
are all slightly different, meaning that if for some reason the faceplate 
gets damaged or lost, you can't just get another face plate and be 
guaranteed that it works on your stem.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my bad luck?

[RBW] Re: New Nitto x Blue Lug Power Stem

[Johnny Alien]

The Riv Fillet Faceplater is WAY taller than this one. My main beef with 
Riv's stem offerings is that everything has massive height.  That's great 
when you have small headtubes and need to get the bars up but now that they 
have sloping top tubes and big headtubes I think they should offer some 
standard height stems.  I can't use anything they offer because I have to 
practically slam stems with their geometry.  I would love a fillet brazed 
stem like they sell but there is no way I could get it to work. The bars 
would end up way too high.

Woo!  I might just buy the FW30 for the Bombadil.  I do like the smooth

Nice! It seems exactly like the MT-54S but maybe with a touch more height.

Having used both (and BoscoMoose): Bosco all day unless you're absolutely 
positively sure the CM is going to be right for height and reach and angle. 
The only thing I ended liking about ChocoMoose was they looked great.

[RBW] Re: Chocomoose vs. Bosco?

[David Person]

I've not owned a pair of Chocomoose but I do own a pair of standard Choco 
bars.  For me, the inability to set the angle of the bars would be a 
disadvantage of the Chocomoose.  The set reach of 120mm is also more than 
I'd like.  I run my Choco bars 'inverted' like the Chocomoose are arranged 
and really like the erogonomics.

[RBW] Chocomoose vs. Bosco?

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between the Chocomoose and the Nitto B353 "Bosco" 
bars. 

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Do you have a distinct 
preference for one over the other, and why? Is one set of bars better suited 
for a specific type of ride, or are they "six of one, half-dozen of the other?"

Thanks all for the replies; too bad, as I'm sure the MMs would brake
stronger than the Paul cantis. However, the cantis are officially "OK" (per
me) for performance, and Exceptional for looks.

I'm about to put my 60cm frame set with rainbow tube up for sale, just 
haven't gotten around to taking some pics and posting. Just in case you can 
go down a size as it does ride a bit on the big size. I usually ride either

[RBW] Re: Fattest tires 'n' fenders that fit under Paul Mini-Motos?

[Johnny Alien]

I had 48's under some mini-v's and it was super tight. That's with a Box 
Components mini-v which by specs is slightly taller than the MiniMoto. I 
switched to 42's to improve the room. I can't see me getting fenders under 
there with the 42's.  I have never personally tried the combo you are 
looking at but based on specs and such if it did work it would be very 
tight. I have my doubts over it working. If you want big tires and a fender 
the best best is probably standard V's.
