My orthos slipped a lot. What I finally did was mount them in a 31.8 four bolt stem with a shim. Now they don’t move at all. Maybe worth a try. Bill On Friday, September 13, 2024 at 8:56:42 PM UTC-4 drew.jo...@gmail.com wrote: > Thank you! I’m glad you like my interpretation so far. Will send

I’ve had good results with the Park anti slip gel, using a 26mm stem on my 90s mtb and also on another ATB I have that’s running a 31.8 with a shim. That’s good for general riding. However, if you’re going to ride really technical stuff and apply a lot of leverage to the bar ends, they’re going to

Agreed. Very classy! May have mentioned before that I've owned 3 Cannondales; an M500 from mid 1980s with the 24" rear wheel. a 1990 M2000 and a late 1980s T600 which was a fine touring bike that was also fun to ride unloaded. On Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at 8:32:08 PM UTC-5 Bikie#4646 wrote:

I’d also add that the guy who designed the Orthos uses a 25.4 single bolt stem on the Orthos even though they are 26mm. I think he actually designed them to work this way. Personally, I don’t know enough about engineering or metallurgy to know if this is a good or bad idea, so please don’t think I’

That is how I saw it when I looked at it. Thats why the description points out that the outer ring sits in a middle ring position. The ring is not inset its built up for nice appearance. I assume any standard ring will work mounted in the middle position. On Saturday, September 14, 2024 at 9:45
