Thanks all, again. I've noted Harbor Freight and Ace; should have thought
of True Value, too. As it stands, I have 2 offers for custom tool carriers,
and I've accepted 1. We'll see how that goes.
Any thoughts on the Topeak Flash stand?

You can cut down the quill, as long as the bolt has enough threading. Usually
there is enough to lop off an inch or so. You could also get a bolt from a
shorter Nitto stem and use that, but you’d be going pretty short that way. I’ve
done this several times without issue.

The stand I have goes no smaller than 53.5 inches. In fact, because of
how the legs slide up and down, it's ALWAYS 53.5 inches.
Sounds like that Topeak stand is a good solution for you!

Any such stand will be used only for ~3 hours 1X/month, and I am still

The reason for all of this is that I'd like to ride the errand Riv to the

Hi Doug,
I'm going to guess no, the handlebar height will not be below saddle height
(even slammed).
The moose part is angled upwards. I have bullmoose bars on my AHH, and
though slammed, there's quite a bit of rise to the bars. (I ride saddle
height 69-70cm on my 56cm Toyo AHH.)
Here's anoth
Howdy folks,
I am in the process of buying a 51cm Joe Appa. It is complete, but I
always envisioned Chocomooses on mine if I got one and it doesn't have
them. I also assumed I would "slam" them, I don't generally run bars above
saddle height. My saddle height is somewhere in the 71-72cm range,
I really would love a ride report of the stem. The build looks great and thanks
for sharing.
