Re: [RBW] There’s a new man in my life, and his name is Clem

Ian, it fits! I’m not sure it didn’t fit me before; I just like those bars high and close. I don’t want to reach out for my bars, and I want NO weight on my hands. The bike fits but it’s long, and that also takes acclimation. It’s maxed out on my Saris rack. Not sure I would dare make it work f

Oh, and being this is winter, if you're a nutter riding in the snow, the MKS Touring pedal is brilliant. Pressure on the pedal actually clears snow and increases grip rather than thickening the ice layer underfoot to the point the pins are "gone." Ask me how I know. Grin. With abandon, Patrick

Re: [RBW] There’s a new man in my life, and his name is Clem

When I had a bike with Bosco Bars I had to torque the stem bar connection pretty tight not to get slippage when I stood up to pedal if I was gripping near the end of the bars. There is so much leverage with that bar. On a future Clem build I would seriously consider the Bullmoose stem combo bar.

I ride on the VP Vice, which uses a longer length axle than the 001 for more support. I always add some grease to any pedal I buy. The 2 pair I have been perfect. It also uses a combo of the grub(like the 001) and M4 bolts which insert from the other side and are adjustable. The M4 bolts alone
