Current Projects chat and miscellany

i like to change my bars depending on its use, for going into town (<5 miles) i like risers as they give me more control in traffic, when I'm commuting (10 miles >) then i use bull horns, having a front loading stem makes it so much easier,

Not really... You could have 2 quill stems, each with your different bar and run a hinged brake lever.

You would therefore only have to undo 2 bolts and it's easier than fiddling about with a face plate.
