I seem to end up with LD type stems on most of my bikes with threadless headsets (took a while before I figured out what LD stood for). The exception is the HHH where I have the threadless Bullmoose handlebars which clamp directly to the steerer tube on top of a huge stack of spacers. The LD stem is the best way to get the height that I am looking for and the esthetics are better than the typical threadless stem - I grew up with threaded, so I have never been fond of the clunky look of the threadless stems.
The removable faceplate on most threadless stems sure does make it easier to change handlebars, but I am still not a big fan of threadless. Bit of a retro-grouch I guess. I already have a Crust LD stem patiently awaiting the GBW. Laing Cocoa FL > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
