Tyler does it again! He just started making stems to fit Boxxer type mounts. I'm going to mount it up after my shock comes back from Push next week
It's adjustable from 45,50 &55mm with a zero degree rise. I don't know if it comes without the etching. I'm not sure how available these stems are right now. It's flippin lite too.What are the lengths? What's the height like compared to some other stems on the market? Does it come in black w/o the etching?
BUY HOPE!
Do you hope someone will by the company and put some money into designing a brake that works, as well as looks pretty?
sounds to me like you need to learn how to wrench......Do you hope someone will by the company and put some money into designing a brake that works, as well as looks pretty?

push is servicing boxxer forks now ? i called them about a month ago and they said they have no eta.
What's a zero degree rise? Why do manufacturers quote that anymore? Can't we have a mm measurement from the base to the centre line? Would make so much more sense!It's adjustable from 45,50 &55mm with a zero degree rise.

I don't own a Boxxer, I have a 40. My Roco was getting shortened about a half inch.." I'm going to mount it up after my shock comes back from Push next week"

that's bull, the stem bolts would break much before the actual crownFirst bolt on stem that has made me want one, any idea of the cost?
Too bad, I still think I would rather turn my bars than bend something or have my stanchions twist in the crowns or anything else like that... re-centering bars is pretty quick and easy with a normal stem.
no ones worried about the crown breaking.that's bull, the stem bolts would break much before the actual crown
...and your point is?that's bull, the stem bolts would break much before the actual crown
granted there was some venom in that, my bad, but im just saying, using an excuse like you don't want to run a direct mount stem because of a fear of twisting the stanchions in the crown doesn't really justify the means of not wanting to use one...but anyhow...and your point is?
No need to call anything I said "bull", re-read what I wrote.
I voiced my reasons for not jumping to a bolt on stem, and I think they are all valid reasons as someone who has his share of unscheduled dismounts. I'd love to run one of these stems, but it just might not make sense for me which is a real shame.
I wasn't taking offense with him having his own opinion... it just had no bearing on what I had said. I think it was mostly just a matter of a simple misreading/misunderstanding of what I had said.maybe calling your opinion bull was a bad thing to say everyone is entitled to there opinion. All i can say is try an integrated stem and you won't go back. It just removes any doubt about bars not being straight. After a crash you just get up and ride off no messin around with trying to straighten your bars etc. Down side is i've seen the bolts snap and a rider eat the ground pretty damn hard.
For me, it does justify it. After all, what takes longer to fix, a stem that has twisted a bit out of alignment, or stanchions/lowers that have twisted? 2 bolts versus potentially a lot more.granted there was some venom in that, my bad, but im just saying, using an excuse like you don't want to run a direct mount stem because of a fear of twisting the stanchions in the crown doesn't really justify the means of not wanting to use one...but anyhow
the way i look at it, usually when you ride, you get all sweaty and when you crash you have to take the old allen key set from your pocket...being all hot and sweaty and re align...when your friends are already a few paces a head...just simpler get up and ride and beat them...lol
See there's two ways of looking at it. I ask which takes longer, fixing a stem that twists 1 in 3 crashes, or replacing a crown which might hypothetically break 1 in 3,000 crashes. Despite DM stems becoming more and more common, I've yet to see a rise in damaged crowns or lowers as a result. Certainly no more than with clamped stems.For me, it does justify it.

I'm not really concerned with damaging my crowns or lowers... just having things twist out of alignment. Also, my stem doesn't twist in 1 in 3 crashes either... I guess it will vary from person to person... but is your stem tight enough? Does it have enough contact area with your steer tube? That seems excessive.See there's two ways of looking at it.

That Twenty6 stem looks pretty damn rad. The stenciling reminds me of the Syndicate team bike pantjobs actually.
Just sell the Sunline and order one of these baby'sdamn!.....that thing is gorgeous.......i like my sunline but that thing is prettier, more adjustable, and lighter......nice!
Ah I was just offering another perspective. I run a FUNN Direct mount (yes I'm a partswhore with the Ti version ) on my DH bike. On my playbike I run a thomson clamp stem and I've noticed it tweaks off centre pretty easily regardless of how silly I tighten it.I'm not really concerned with damaging my crowns or lowers... just having things twist out of alignment.

Agreed on it looking rad though, I'd love to try one out if I had the budget for fancy new bits like that.
Nope, bolts aren't Ti.Looks nice, that weight has to be with ti bolts right?
I just hope this product has had some decent testing done.
A few of tylers early products were a little half baked and it was only simple problems that would have been found quickly with testing. These issues were resolved pretty quick I believe, but it shouldn't be the end users job to test the product. With brake levers its one thing, but your playing with peoples faces when it comes to stems- so I just hope its done 100%.
