We have considered the re-muv-a-plate and have not totally rejected it. I think I'm the only one here who has any misgivings at all, but I'm also the one who'd get in trouble if Joe Blow blew it with the bolts and got hurt--and tragically, that influences things, sometimes. I feel an emoticon

Patrick, For what it's worth, I have used and/or am still using about a half dozen of the old Ritchey Force stems which, as Kieran noted, are similar to this stem in that they have no removable face plate AND have a broader, squared-off, mtb style clamp area (as opposed to the road/drop bar

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

Thanks for trying (see below). I can see your reason for hesitating to use a removable face plate if some (dummy synonym) might install it wrong, a la quick release, and do himself and others harm. I bet I can get a 15" laptop into a Medium Saddlesack, but I want a nice shoulder bag too. If you

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

I've appreciated the open face-plate when going through my notoriously obsessive process of dialing in stem length - buy a stem, swap it in without undoing bar stuff, don't like it, buy another stem, repeat - but that feature is pointless once you know the length you need. Per Grant's caution,

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

What size stem would you need, Joe? I've got a bunch of quality old quill stems lying around that I'll likely never use, so am happy to pass on to a good home if one will work. Funny, isn't it Patrick, that this new stem is 1 1/8" while Bontrager happened to be the last holdout, *other*

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

Hi Keith, who am. I need a pretty long stem, 130 or 140, 25.4 clamp. That's usually threadless open-face territory, which is how I ended up with the one that's on there now. Whatcha got? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

No comment on the stem but I did pick up a jumbo grabsack a few weeks ago and love it. There is a sewn in sleeve on the inside which holds my 13" mac but does not fit my wife's 14" lenovo (which is pretty thick). That being said, there is ample room outside of the sewn in sleeve where the 14"

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

130-140 is easy. Most of my stuff is from '80s 90's mountain bikes, where the entire goal was to go over the handlebars as often as possible. ;-) Might not have anything as elegant as nitto, but will have good quality. I'll take some pictures tomorrow and PM you. On Saturday, February 13,

Re: [RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

Keith: The Bontrager has a 1" threadless fork, but I'm happily using a spacer to get a 1 1/8" stem to fit. Far easier than trying to track down the right length and rise in 1". Dave (Stein): Good to know that the jumbo does hold a 15". Would you be kind enough to post a photo of the thick 14"

[RBW] Re: New 1 1/8" threadless stem on 2/10 Blug

It looks like an up-jutter version of the Ritchey Force Lite stems Nitto used to make in the 90's. Nice stuff, I have a beauty one in my parts bin. KJ On Friday, February 12, 2016 at 12:18:10 PM UTC-5, Patrick Moore wrote: > > High rise with 25.4 mm clamp; looks promising. But puh *leeze* make
