Wanted to go back to drops on the Cherubim, uprights felt nice but I missed having an aggressive position. My neighbor gave me some evo curves he had in the shed to try out, they feel alright but I kind of want a shorter stem. I measured it against my Pacer and overall the ‘bim is actually shorter, so not sure where the issue lies.

What head tube angle did you go for?

73°. I have not done much of calculating before. But I did just check it in a trail calculator and end up with around 32-35mm of trail which seems fine to me for loaded purposes.

2020, return of the skidder?

Looks like summer, balls awesome.

hit me up if you want to sell, beautiful bike

WTF.

Surely that chasm isn't meant to be there?

It isn't, which is why gertrude bodged together a quill seat post to get around the problem

My bad. Lack of reading.

I'm after for suggestions for a slim looking stem to suit a skinny steel frame. Ideally 26mm clamp. I really like the look of the steel stem I have on there at the minute but I can't stop the 25.4mm bars stop slipping in the 26mm stem, no matter how many cans of tyskie I drink. It's got a 1 bolt clamp design, I'm thinking a 2 or 4 bolt might be easier to shim/tighten more effectively.
Edit: looking for a 90 or 100mm

I've a brainfart. Is the Pompino headset 1" or 1 1/8" threadless? @mdcc_tester et al

Why do you want a 26mm stem for 25.4 bars?

1.125"

Will it close up without the shim? I've had success with 25.4 bars in a steel 26 stem without shimming, as long as you don't run out of travel you won't overstrain steel by closing the extra 0.6mm. Your shims might be acting as a bearing 🙂

Sounds like it might be a bit on the generous side of 26mm in the stem. I have 25.4mm bars in a 26mm Cinelli 1A with shims and it holds on ok. The bolt in the 1A does need to be cranked up pretty tight though.
