I'm pretty sure that putting the clamp screws in front of the steerer is a fundamentally flawed design, as anybody who has owned a Cinelli Alter/Integralter/Angel will confirm. You end up trying to bend the whole stem body to achieve clamping, rather than just bending the thin walls of the clamp itself as you do with a normal stem. If you must keep it clean and knee friendly, use a wedge clamp like Thomson, not a hoop tension clamp.

tend to agree, it doesn't seem like a great approach. I suppose they could minimise the effect by making tolerances very low but then it may not fit over some steerers where tolerances are all to cock!

Have you thought about writing to Brooklyn?
