Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho... stem question

Chris, can I ask how this ended up working for you? If so, what shim did you use? I've set up my Appaloosa with the Orthos and a 120mm VO single-bolt 26.0mm stem. The comfort and control is FANTASTIC, but I can make the bars slip if I push down on them hard. So far it hasn't happened while ridi

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho... stem question

I've been happy with a 120mm lugged stem w Orthos on my 62cm Atlantis. Sometimes when I'm jumping on the bike quickly I get the feeling my bars just slipped downward but actually they just flexed! So the stem is grabbing pretty well to not slip in this scenario. The stem has pronounced rigi

Re: [RBW] Re: tektro 559 left-right adjustment screw

LOL, indeed! Shimano SP brakes have a small notch on the brake arm closest to the fork crown so you can center it before tightening the brake mounting bolt. Looking at the Tektro brakes on one of my bikes, it has no such mark - so you have to clamp the brake arms together to get them as close
