• Hi,

    To fit some compact bars I'm on the lookout for one of these stems:

    • quill
    • 110mm long
    • 26mm clamp
    • has to either have a removable faceplate, or be a tig welded construction (eg ITM Eclypse, Cinelli Grammo) as the clamp can be opened somewhat in that case

    Let me know if you've got something!

    Thanks

  • You can't open the front of an Eclypse or Grammo :)
    PM me for a welded 1' ahead openable stem

  • Yeah but you can bend it open more easily than a traditional forged alloy stem. I'll pm, thanks!

  • If that's of any help you can fit compact bars on a forged stem without too much trouble. I used the "coin" method (Nitto M151 and Pearl).

  • I've got a Dynamic lying around and there is no way this one is going round the bars (I've tried).

    I don't think the coin method works with the Dynamic, doesn't it?

  • I wouldn't have thought they were very different in terms of thickness / material, but I haven't tried that model.
    Being two (one holding the stem and the other turning the bars around) sure helped a lot.

  • Easy trick with a regular quill is to flip the clamp bolt around then close it onto a coin. This pushes it a bit more open, just enough to get it around the bars.

  • I think I have an itm eclypse. Are you sorted?

  • Nope, I’m interested. Send me some pics?

  • I got one of these a few months ago, seems fine if a little crudely made.

  • Nice one, but they’re 31.8mm and I’m after 26mm!

  • I have a 110 mm 3ttt openable with missing cover but 100% usable and working

  • Hey there, that sounds perfect, I’ll pm!

  • Does it hold the bars well enough? I was thinking of getting one of these but two bolt system... Many of us know about the problem with Thomson x2

  • Seems to be fine, but it's only being used for gentle commuting

  • Are you using them with drop bars?

    Sorry for off topic, I just PMd you @n3il
