Yes they are very good, they makes your front end not be sketchyiest

had one on the colnago, worked fine, easier to change the bars, and to take apart for transport, but went back to quill as it looks way nicer on a steel frame.Think mine was a deda in black

Inserts just like a quill. Then bang an ahead on the top.

Clarky. Yeah they are very useful, especially of your trying to dial in a new postion, and so its easy to change stem length.

They do come in a couple of sizes I think so just check the size.

I totally agree with pullingteth, it's changed the look on my pug.

I needed a shorter reach and saves stripping off bar tape when you change bars !

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
