lightest DH stem and bars
- Thread starter Kntr
- Start date
I wonder if the 90g integrated foride stem + crown is really lighter than the integrated hope stem+crown combo.
As for bars - element technic flat bar is 299g 760mm uncut (cut it and be happy). Syntance as Kacper says is light indeed. I'd also really try composite easton monkey lites (if you like the angles) there hold up much better than other similar bars on the market. They must have some magic spakly dust on them as apparently in archery their arrows are also much harder to break (ie. they bouce off if shoot in a wall instead of breaking as my archer fiend claims
).
Gravity light also seemed to have a sub 300g bar.

I opted out of weight since the light stuff was always breaking. direct mount crown and deity bars have held up along time.
My Point One stem - 50mm/31.8mm is 138g complete on a digital scale. My Dirty Thirty bar is 296g.

Isn't the twenny6 DM stem 126 grams?
Bars are the most terrifying place to lose weight...no thanks.

My Twenty6 stem is 127gr
And I know at least 3 people that bent them and 1 that broke it. Not recomended.
I have one on my dj bike and it's pretty nice. Supposedly, they will rotate on the steerer tube in a crash, but it hasn't happened to me yet. I'm almost 200lbs so I feel like I really need to put a lot of trust into a part like that.

Im NOT looking for a direct mount. Im still going to run a single crown for awhile.
Anyone have pics of the Twenty6 black stem?
ahh then you need these.....

I've run a sunline v1 for about a year and a half... on my 6.6... no problems at all... nice stem!
The sunline v1 all mountain isnt direct mount.
REREAD. I said Im NOT looking for a direct mount.
I understand you do not want your stem directly mounted to the top crown on a dual crown fork, because you are running a single crown. The sunline v1 all mountain is a regular stem. I have one, Im looking at it right now.
oooh double re-read.
I may have mine mounted tomorrow. I rushed home today to put on the new bling and my bike was gone. Seems that my bro borrowed it. So I got to go get my bike.
You are way too demanding. Btw, am I going to see pics of a Dual ring 951 (whatever hammerschmidt, same idea) all over the net for the next 2 years?

Thanks to the guys that PMed me pics.
I'm not sure, but I think I can hear that one cracking from here. Looks a bit spindly, no?
agreed. that's just plain scary. hollow ti bolts??? cmon?
those little arms are really strong enough?
I would think that the two piece design would really creek no?
Here you go 108grams with bolts and its a clamp stem to 
Don't worry, he only needs it to show his bike off on tha internetz. And I have never seen a stem fail when someone takes a picture of it.
That hurts. Im willing to bet I ride more than 90% of the people on RM.Don't worry, he only needs it to show his bike off on tha internetz. And I have never seen a stem fail when someone takes a picture of it.
I need a light bar and stem. I gotta be able to get the 951-AM to the top of my favorite trail, 4500ft vert/10+ miles of DH.
Ive decided on the Sunline AM at 144g and the Deity Dirty30 cut down to 28" so probably around 280g.
Here is one more pic for ya.
