  • Whats the purpose of that stemprotector(?)

    It's not a stem protector, it's a testicle protector. Back in the olden days when anybody thought that bike was a good idea, there was also a prevalent concern that the sharp edges of the new-fangled AHead stems would do serious damage in the event of a crash. It was the same concern which drove the wedge-clamp stem designs such as the original Thomson among others.

  • That's not true. It was for knees. People joked it was for your balls, but it was really for knees.

    And yes, I saw the hip, irreverent-yet-still-homage product in the link.

  • People joked it was for your balls

    Including me. I'm well aware that the official line was that your knees would be the impact site.
