please explain.. If you know something I don't know would appreciate your comments. I dont want my girlfriend riding something that Isn't safe.
I have tested it under all my weight with sharp braking.. enough to skid the front wheel, and there is no movement. As i said before there is little shear force acting on the compression bolt as the cap extends into the steerer tube.
... stem cap which is 7/8th inch and extends 8mm, passing through the 5mm mild steel. This allows the shear force to pass directly from the clamp to the cap and into the steerer tube. The bolt is only used for compression and is under minimal/no shear force under braking.
Thanks
