Questions & Answers

Would you be so kind as to clarify the adjustment from 40 degrees to 140 degrees? You don't go past 90° if the low limit is 40° above horizontal, then why do you go beyond that? As the stem points forward, you would be looking at it. ?

Thank you for your interest in this product. The neck of the cup begins at a 90-degree angle from the stem, and it can be lowered to a 40-degree angle and raised to a 140-degree Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions Call 877-452-4 IRIBIKEAID (245-5950 ), and we would be delighted to assist.

What is the compatibility of this with a Canondale M700? What do you think of that old bike?

Generally, you can either use a threaded fork on an older model M700 or a threadless fork on a newer M700. A threadless front fork that is threadless and comes with an adjustable stem helps make this bike even better. There are a few bikes I still have from 25 years ago that have threaded forks and this Messingschlager unit will not work with those Forks on my newer bikes all have threadless threads, and these are the ones I use. * It is a wonderful I've tried cheaper ones and they didn't I find this one to be solid and strong! My favorite part of it is the simplicity.

Would you mind giving me some instructions? It came in a plain package for me. It doesn't say what to do. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a download ?

This is a pretty straight forward installation process. The old stem needs to be removed first. You will need to adjust your handlebars in the same way 8) begin by tightening the long bolt into the threaded butterfly insert in the You next need to tighten the two bottom bolts around the inner fork circumference. The best way for them to face you is In order to do this, aim your bow toward the front tire. *br> The 4 bolts on the bracket on the top will hold your handle bars in place. Last but not least, adjust the stem arm to where you think it will be comfortable, then tighten the central bolt. You may need to make adjustments.

Stylish stem that can be adjusted to fit any size
5/5

Because of one very simple reason, I love the idea of adjustable stems We all have different physical builds and riding positions that work best for us. A bike that doesn't suit your riding position is almost as frustrating as riding a bike that doesn't fit you. I was looking for a replacement stem for an adjustable stem I had purchased for this bike about Despite my best efforts, I never succeeded in tightening down the original stem. The situation got to the point of being annoying, then There is no doubt that this new stem works. I really like how it is beautifully made, solid, and holds its position easily and securely. Most riders can adjust it to their preferred riding position using a wide variety of adjustment levers. The only thing stopping me from rating it six stars is that it only allows.

It is easy to install and easy to adjust
5/5

One of the best threadless adjustable stems on the market. Although most have the adjustment offset from the steerer tube, you can still keep the bar low for comfort even when the bar is fully adjusted. The pivot is raised above the steerer tube just like it is with a threaded version of the bar. This way the full benefit of the pivot is realized. It is important to remember that the top of the steerer tube needs to sit level with the top of the upper pinch bolt, since this also means the handlebars move up. To get the bar lower, it would also be necessary to remove two additional spacers. A 6mm wrench is all that is needed for the adjustment, so there is no top cap to use. It is easy to follow, simple to understand.

It fits well on my Trek 820 mountain bike
5/5

However, I noticed that I had to lean forward too much when riding my new Trek 820, so I This defeated my urge to upgrade the rise of the handlebars or replace the stem with another one. This adjustable stem seemed sturdy and functional by looking at the photos and reading the reviews. In the event that this did not provide me with the height I was looking for, I would need to replace the handle bars. Thanks to two clicks forward from the vertical position, I was able to find the perfect seating position. All parts are of good quality, and I expect it to last for a long time. As a precaution, I added a bit of thread locker to some of the bolts. After I installed this stem, I filled in 3 spacers below the stem, so the steer tube did not quite clear the top clamp as much as I would like it to. Once installed, everything felt rock solid with no looseness or noise. It is recommended.

With a few words about installing it on carbon steerer tubes, it is well built and sturdy
5/5

To get a more upright riding position, I bought this stem to replace the stock stem on my Cannondale Quick 1. An adjustment made with teeth actually meshes when tightened, so it offers much better performance than a friction-based It's hard for me to imagine this ever slipping given how tight it feels when tightened. I will add a few cautionary words about installing this on a carbon fork steer In order for the main stem body to be tightened to the fork tube, it comes with a star compression nut assembly. Fork tubes made from alloy or steel can be made in this way, but carbon tubes should not be made in this way. It is necessary to use an expansion / compression nut with carbon steerer fork tubes. Because my fork is carbon, the original stem assembly on my bike did have an expansion nut. However, I discovered that this was too short to use with the adjustable stem on this bike. I found this 50mm expansion nut assembly on Amazon for around $10, which I had to buy separately to install this stem on my bike. Below is the link to the one I found. With this one, I did not need to use the black cap on top. In my opinion, the company selling this excellent product would be better served by offering two styles. Two types are available, one with a star compression nut designed for alloy and steel tubes and one with a compression nut designed for carbon would also be nice if they included a picture of the internal parts in their Except for that, I recommend this stem and would absolutely buy it again if I were in need of a replacement.

It is an excellent piece of It's a quality product, but I rarely review it
5/5

The design, construction and quality of this stem is really impressive to me as an engineer. The angles and dimensions of the bike are just right and you can easily switch between full comfort and Having not bought it for many years, I need to do so now. Its only negative is its weight, but I can ignore that because of its solid construction, not hollow. There is no need to worry about being.

I have installed and adjusted this quite easily
5/5

It seems to work as expected. I made it. A "click" is provided each time an angle/degree is set. There is one negative for me, however, which is that the handlebar clamp is 31 inches wide. It is 8mm, not 25mm as it is more commonly known. You will need to multiply 4 by Six millimeters. As a result, I need fatter handlebars.

This massage treatment can help you with neck and shoulder pain
5/5

I have four of them and am ordering another. They can be adjusted so you can enjoy riding without pain. My friends love my bikes so I'm putting them on theirs.
