While reading through this thread discussion something kept going on the the back of my mind, like I'd seen something about the steering tube butting somewhere on the Web. So I finally browsed through some of Sheldon's articles and found this: *Note:* Steerers

A Technomic Deluxe is marked only as Nitto. Most likely that's what it is, but Ben's certainly offers older, obscure items on occasion. David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

It was sold as a Long Pearl, and it doesn't say either Pearl or Technomic, it says Nitto. On Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 11:14:51 AM UTC-5, Benz, Sunnyvale, CA wrote: > > Isn't a long quilled Pearl essentially a Technomic Deluxe? ... > > > On Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 4:23:33 AM UTC-7, Ron Mc

Isn't a long quilled Pearl essentially a Technomic Deluxe? From specs, they both look to be cold-forged and the finishing (at least on mine) are identical. The identifying difference for me (from 3') is the handlebar clamp nut – the Deluxe version has more of a triangular threaded plate while

You need to be careful, the Tech Dlx has MIL of 80mm (vs the Tech at 65mm). This gives a maximum quilllength above the HS of 110mm and requires 80mm in the steerer. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 1:48:21 AM UTC-4, Lungimsam wrote: > My Tech and Tallux stems both

Probably doesn't help, at all, because I haven't seen another since - but about 5 years ago I found a Nitto Long Pearl stem at Ben's It gives me up to 90mm above the headset. Like I said, haven't seen

I sometimes wonder why Rivendell sells only the Tallux with its 225mm quill. After all, not every bike has a long steerer/head tube and not every rider needs a tall stem. This is not a criticism of Rivendell; it's just an idle thought. (For my old Raleigh Competition I bought a Technomic Deluxe

I had the same issue with the Heron Touring when I firsted assembled it and had a conversation with Todd Kuzma about it. Yes the steerer is butted. I just used a early Tech Dlx stem which is a cm shorter than the current tech dlx. At the time I wanted the bars an inch below the saddle, but as I
