Hi CMR,
I just wrote a rather long, detailed response before accidently powering
off my computer and losing it. But maybe its for the best and I can keep
this short :)
I'm also not an engineer, but a theoretical physicist, so everything I said
was "in theory" :) I stand by my original statemen
I just received a Nitto FW30 Power Stem (130mm)from Blue Lug today and
installed it in place of the beautiful Nitto Technomic that I had on my
Sam. When running on trails or rough terrain the Albatross bars would slip
every so often. I am very hopeful that this 4 bolt faceplate design solves
th
Hi Ben, I wonder if the design of the stems has more of a factor than the
number and size of the bolts. The technomic is a wrap around design that
bends the metal to grasp around the stem, while an open face plate stem is
more of a clamp. I am not an engineer (obviously)!
In my experience the t
Hey all, just thought I'd mention that more bolts doesn't necessarily equal
more clamping force. Clamping force is generally proportional to the lowest
preloaded bolt in the system. More bolts really only help to even spread
the force, not magnify the clamping force (The main reason to use multi
Hi Mike, thanks for the recommendation, I've looked it up and looks like a
good compromise between a Tallux and full-on 4-bolt stem.

Personally it sounds like you'll be fine given you know what to look out
for and how to handle a bike appropriately given the terrain, but I will
say the *fillet* Nitto Faceplater stems are well worth the coin and peace
of mind if you can find one in your size.
Best of luck and be sure to repor
Just in case you’re interested, Blue Lug has the Nitto UI-2 stem (26.0 clamp) in stock in all sizes from 60 to 120. Great stem for Ortho bars. Nitto 90-190’s in stock as well.MikeOn Mar 4, 2025, at 2:29 PM, jaredwilson wrote:Personally it sounds like you'll be fine given you know what to look out
Thank you for all your answers.
I was pretty confident on using the Technomic/Tallux based on all the
answer-s before Bill's. However, considering I will be using Ortho's or
similar bars, I may have to reconsider my position. I'm 170 pounds and know
how to ride light (the only riding I know in
I ride a tallux through single track with no issues. However, to echo
Bill's statements, always on drop bars and "riding light."

It depends on lots of things. Top 5 in my mind are:
Are you 140 pounds? That's a big plus in favor of using a Technomic Deluxe
wherever you feel like it. Are you 280 pounds? Not so much
What bars are you using? normal drop bars? That's a big plus. Boscos or
other very very long lever arm
I always personally took it as a suggestion one probably shouldn't use it
for aggressive single track and mountain biking with wide handlebars more
so than adventure touring and light trail riding. I've never had slip
issues.

I know some users have experienced slip at the bars with the single bolt
stem.
You are probably fine if you aren't doing any jumps/drops and the stem has
good insertion. If it was all the way up I bet it would be pretty flexy.
