Re: [RBW] Re: Stem for Billie Bars...

[Ryan Ogilvie]

Billie owner here re-upping what everyone else has said (had Orthos on Nitto Tallux that would slip when doing silly stuff) and saying that my Billies on a faceplatter have been rock solid when presented with a bit of tomfoolery.  Sent from my mobile device.  On Sep 26, 2024, at 8:10 AM, Steve Theberge <steve.thebe...@gmail.com> wrote:  Hi folks!  I have Billie bars on my newly built sam. In talking  it over with Will at Riv he strongly suggested the 4 bolt faceplate stem for exactly the reasons you mentioned.  110mm on my size 54.  https://www.rivbike.com/products/stem-nitto-90-190?srsltid=AfmBOoqnIYxgujEKpDnEy5yD8YGOE3tHPf6Rfdv90PzE3_ICnFWx-Qtw Added bonus is that it’s easier to swap out bars if you change your mind.  So far it’s been great, feels rock solid with zero slippage. Have fun!  On Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 10:30:31 PM UTC-4 dinoh...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.  I'm currently building up a Sam H and have just received some Billie bars.  Really cool, but it seems like a lot of leverage.  I am about to order a stem but have a hard time imagining Billies staying put with just a single-bolt Technomic or Tallux. So if I torque the stem down properly, I can count on the Billies not moving if I jump off a curb or something?  I'm pretty average size.  175 lbs.  Any Billie owners want to chime in with their experience?  Maybe I should just pay more and get the 4-bolt, face plated stem....
