Re: Madder than a mad thing

There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.
Re: Madder than a mad thing
I've got a use for a stem like that if anyone knows of a cheap one.

Re: Madder than a mad thing
Would be fine with a set of loops on it
Re: Madder than a mad thing
Those things again :) like Amoeba DJ stems from the late 90s. It'll still steer ok, crack on.. That bike looks like a Bicycle Pubes sketch got used as a design concept though.

Re: Madder than a mad thing
I wonder how it affects handling? Would open up a lot of bikes to dropbar conversion.

Re: Madder than a mad thing
Probably not much at all, drop bars have 60-90mm of forward reach in them anyway. You get all the negative of riding drops off road stillI wonder how it affects handling?
Re: Madder than a mad thing
Reminds me of one of my early Mondrakers when they had the bonkers stems on them. Thing was amazing in a straight line down hill once you weighted the front wheel. Otherewise...it was a bit pants.

Re: Madder than a mad thing
Makes for very sweet handling. In fact I'd go as far as saying that you really need your hands to be as close to the steerer axis as possible for making the steering as light as possible. I've got a similar stem on the fat bike (long top tube, short head tube and dodgy back) and it climbs like a mountain goat as well as making it very manoeuverable for the nadgery stuff
