Question: Can the handlebar clamp open wide enough to fit a handlebar without removing grips/tape?
Document: Quality of this stem is not great. I had to lap the handlebar clamp area to get it to grip the bar hard enough. Any tighter and I think it will break. Other than that issue it appears to work well. It is cheap and very tall, which is exactly what I was looking for.
This seems to be a common size for mountain bikes, cruisers, comfort bikes and the like. Most drop bars, common on road bikes, are 26mm in diameter and will obviously not fit in a 25.4mm clamp. I did not have any trouble with the clamp fitting a 25.4mm bar.
I've put it on a mountain bike toghether with a Pyramid Mountain Bike Riser Handlebar. It's a nice stem, it looks good, i don't have any complaints, i used it for a year now and does not show any problem.
the width od the quill was too large and didnt fit my bycle. Returning it woul;d not be finacially feecable. Now I am selling it..
Fit my bike perfectly. I didn't have to change anything out to make it fit. It allows me to ride sitting up more which is what I needed.
Yes, its not best polished item; however, unless you are focusing on it, it's not enough to concern. Beside, no back pain. Nothing is this long. Being steel is only way to go at this length. Nitto Technomic is 225mm & would be same or heavier if made in 250mm.
I have purchased these stems previously in their 21.1mm quill size. They are excellent for making an old mountain bike better fitting for street cruising. Get this stem, some smooth-rolling tires and possibly a little taller handlebar and you'll have a very comfortable ride. This stem is well formed,with a nicely polished chrome finish, not fancy but very good value.
This product did just what was expected of it - raised the handlebars up and brought them just slightly back towards the rider, for a different hand position. The quality seems fine; the fit was fine. Installed easily.
I purchased this for a 1980's road bike which happens to be my first drop handlebar experience. The drops were just too low for me even with the stem at its highest. My bike also does not have the type of brake hoods comfortable for resting your hands on. This stem places the drop part of the handlebar at a very comfortable position. Since I am more interested in hand comfort than speed, the high handlebar position works very well.
Get it to put on cheap bikes that currently make the rider hunch over. I put it on my wife's inexpensive cruiser and she loves the improved fit. I suppose one important suggestion would be to not use this stem for *rough* off-road use; I don't think it's intended for that.The quill (the part that goes down into your bike's head-tube) has a diameter of 22.2mm (7/8").
