Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Gordon, thanks. I ordered a Technomic XL today from Ben’s. Also some bar tape from rivendell? Of course a faceplate would, if I needed to change it again make life easier. On Fri, Jun 28, 2024 at 2:16 PM Gordon Stam wrote: > Gorgonzola. Now there's an online moniker. Is it too late to change my

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Gorgonzola. Now there's an online moniker. Is it too late to change my screen name? When I got my 59 cm Clem I put a Technomic stem on it with a 130mm reach and was thinking that perhaps I should have gotten a 64 because I had the stem maxed out to get the handlebars up to the height I wanted.

Thanks Gorgonzola. I’ll look at Nitto face plate. On Wed, Jun 26, 2024 at 9:42 PM Gordon Stam wrote: > Joel, maybe look into one of those Nitto 4 bolt face plate stems. I > believe that the quill is just as long as the Technomic, or Tallux, at 225 > cm but the stem comes out at 90 degrees which

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

@Joel, One of the main reasons why I bought a Clem Smith Jr L bicycle is having no difficulty in mounting and dismounting of my bike as a senior cyclist. I found it difficult to swing my right leg over the back end of my former bike. The ride comfort of my Clem is steady and smooth as an elongate

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Joel, maybe look into one of those Nitto 4 bolt face plate stems. I believe that the quill is just as long as the Technomic, or Tallux, at 225 cm but the stem comes out at 90 degrees which gives you a few extra cm of height. A little geometry, or an online stem length/height calculator, will tell y

@Joel, You are more than welcome. I hope it works out very well for you. Send some pictures to us herein would be nice, when you get it installed. Kim Hetzel. On Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 2:39:15 PM UTC-7 J S wrote: > Kim, > I’m with you on threadless, not for me. I think I found the same

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Kim, I’m with you on threadless, not for me. I think I found the same stem, maybe on Ben’s, Technomic XL or something like that. Thanks again. On Wed, Jun 26, 2024 at 2:05 PM Kim H. wrote: > You are more than welcome, Joel. > > So, in a nutshell, you are trying to find a way to get your handleba

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

You are more than welcome, Joel. So, in a nutshell, you are trying to find a way to get your handlebar higher ? Right ? After a long research on the internet, I found that long quill stem. I was and remain very pleased with the outcome. I just couldn't cross the threadless stem bridge as stubbor

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Thanks Kim, you’ve got that right and the miles get less and speed slower. But if I can still ride I am happy. On Wed, Jun 26, 2024 at 12:49 PM Kim H. wrote: > As we grow older, the gears get lower and the handlebars get higher. > > Kim Hetzel. > > On Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 9:25:49 AM UTC-7

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

As we grow older, the gears get lower and the handlebars get higher. Kim Hetzel. On Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 9:25:49 AM UTC-7 Kim H. wrote: > Hi Joel, > > I bought a NITTO Technomic NTC-280 Stem > on my > 58cm Nitto Bosco bars

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Rich, thanks. A forum friend said he has a nitto steerer extender. I am waiting for pics. He said it would give me up to 3” added height. That might be the least expensive way ro go about this and solve the problem. I am hoping it is feasible. Hoping you are well and riding, my Hillborne seems to

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Hi Joel, One more suggestion, albeit more extreme than a stem change, would be to have a framebuilder replace the existing steerer tube with a taller one. I guess that alternative would depend on how committed you are to keeping the Saluki. Good luck with whatever direction you choose. The mixte

Thanks Erik, I did find both of those and either might be the solution. Joel On Tue, Jun 25, 2024 at 1:14 PM Erik Wright wrote: > Hi Joel, > > Soma has a couple options. You could look at the 225mm rise Dirt Drop stem >

[RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Erik, thanks, I think either would work but the 280 would give the same length. I would have to go a bit smaller Tish the dirt dtop but very doable. On Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 11:17:53 AM UTC-4 erik.s...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi Joel, > > Soma has a couple options. You could look at the 225mm r

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Jeff, thanks and yes it is ugly to my eyes. When I realized the the steerer tube was cut I was not sure it would be a problem for my back. As I am having some balancing issues just shy of my 73rd I may opt for one oh they step throughs if I can find one. Thanks again, Joel On Tue, Jun 25, 2024 a

[RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Joel, In addition to what Erik recommends, there is another potential solution: I assume your Saluki has a 1" (22.2mm) threaded headset? If so, I once owned this available from Merry Sales.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

Hi Joel, Soma has a couple options. You could look at the 225mm rise Dirt Drop stem for some more height, or the mega-tall 280mm rise Nitto Technomic (25.4 version for your Chocos/Alba
