So I ordered one of these Steerstopper gizmos to see whether I could make it work on my Hunq. It arrived last week, and after eyeing it up I don't think it's going to work out for me. My handlebars are low enough that when this in the unlocked position (that is, while riding) the business end would extend past the top of the stem by several centimeters - kind of like a suicide knob on a steering wheel. I'd rather not have such a protrusion in the event of misadventure, although I think it work well with a more Riv-ish high handlebar setup. Anyway, I'm offering this up for $75 shipped (my cost was $118). Never installed or dry fitted, just taken out of the packaging.
