I just finished the same process of deciding on a stem for my Ortho Bars as
well. I initially went with the 12cm Tallux, but since I like to lean into
my bars a bit and not be totally upright, I dealt with slipping. I've got a
long torso and arms so I wanted to get a bit more reach too since
My recommendation would be to always chose the faceplater stem over the
talux. The first consideration is the four bolt design will give you a more
secure clamping service. Those bars are wide and you'll put a good amount
of force into them while riding. The four bolts securing the face plate
I forgot to mention, the 110mm stem works well for me on a frame like the Gus
because it has a longer effective top tube length than a more traditional
styled diamond frame. Gus, Platy, Clem, Susie, Roscoe… those Rivs are all
designed for upright riding with sweptback bars like the Ortho (and

The two bars are almost identical in terms of rise and reach and
It’s 26.0 clamp diameter.On Mar 10, 2024, at 2:04 PM, Richard Rose wrote:Chris, are you changing handlebar on an existing bike or, is this a new build? If the former & when I did a bar swap on my Gus, I was able to determine stem length with a couple of measurements. I always prefer a 4 bolt
Chris, are you changing handlebar on an existing bike or, is this a new build? If the former & when I did a bar swap on my Gus, I was able to determine stem length with a couple of measurements. I always prefer a 4 bolt stem but as I understand it the ortho bar has an unusual clamp size?Sent from
What Brian said plus my choice would be the 12cm Tallux or the 13.5cm
face-plater assuming you're on a Riv 54cm or larger.
I have a 12cm Tallux on my Appaloosa with Ortho bars. It's been pretty
good, no complaints, but those bars are massive and I wouldn't mind having
them a little further
Without having the most important factors (frame, size, and what you’re currently running), I’d say going with a faceplater type stem would be a good idea because these are very wide bars, and it’s good to have a stem that will clamp down on them more securely than a single bolt quill stem.I
Hey all, I've got some Ortho Bars in my cart and looking for stem advice
from those who use this bar. Obv there are multiple fit and frame factors
that play into something like this, but curious what people are generally
going with. Here are the options I'm deciding between:
- Faceplater 110mm
