I never noticed this Crust bar before. But, since my (first ever) new
conversation seems to be in a holding pattern.., my new to me Clem came with a
65cm wide Tosco bar (similar) with 31.8 clamp size that is simply too wide for
me. I also have the 31.8 FacePlater stem in 135 length - too long
Yeah, so first thing first; I left my house at 7:30 this morning and drove
300 round trip miles from Toledo, Ohio to Midland, Michigan & back. I was

pics except it is pretty inconvenient as the pics are on my phone & I
I second the Cyclemeter suggestion. I was given a tip that if you operate it in
airplane mode it saves battery use. Also, you can set it to automatically
upload to Strava with the paid subscription which I highly recommend. And you
can upload routes as well though I have not tried to do so yet.
Good Morning folks. So, I need a saddle for my new Clem. FYI, I have a SQ
Lab saddle on my Jones 29 and am very comfortable. But it is kind of ugly.
So, thinking of Giving a Brooks a try. B67 or B17? Pretty upright position
for this old man, Bosco bar with 85mm stem. Only move hands forward for

Not ridiculous at all in my opinion. Before I got the Clem I got a second set
of identical wheels for my Jones. Both were set up tubeless, one with plus size
MTB tires, the other with tires more suited for road / gravel duties. Key to
this working was that they were identical including the disk

The Tosco’s are amazing. I got very lucky as my Clem came with the 65 wide
Tosco which has a 31.8 clamp size. It also came with a FacePlater stem. The

Rivendell suggest the B67 for very upright positions. But, most Riv bikes

Hi Garth. It is a Nitto FacePlater stem & consistently measures 22.2. I’ve not yet measured the inside diameter of the head tube.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 6, 2023, at 3:41 PM, Garth wrote:It appears the diameter of the stem is out of spec as all I see of movement in the video is the stem itself
Also & regarding Garth’s comments regarding the possibility of this Clem L being too small for me; Mine is a 52 & “should” be correct for me according to Riv sizing suggestions. I have put nearly 6,000 miles on this bike and dearly love it. But, I think I’d have been very comfortable going one
Garth, thanks but not certain I understand. You say (I think) minimum insertion is “always to top of lock nut”. My minimum insertion mark is 2cm below top of lock nut. The quill goes quite a bit deeper to well below top of steer tube. I will remove to get an accurate measurement but it is quite

Wow. All I can say is that the steering is not at all twitchy on either my Clem or Gus, both with Bosco’s. Clem has a 135 stem, Gus 100. It has been a long time since I rode drop bars but compared to my mtb’s with relatively straight bars with short stems, the Riv’s under steer a little bit. But

Garth, of course nothing you say here is wrong, it’s simply not the same for everyone. And I know you know that. I am a 68 year old lifetime cyclist. I’ve been through many drop bar bikes and though my last one (Custom Richard Sachs) was easily the best, I was never truly comfortable. I mean, I
I think you are correct - after all this! I now think the movement is just the flex of the exposed quill allowed by the hole of the locknut being just a bit larger than it could/should be.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 7, 2023, at 3:11 AM, Joe Bernard wrote:Checked my Face Plater in my custom, it
