Why So Many Stem Stackers?

Recommended Posts

As someone running 3 miles of stackers, i'd piss myself laughing if i snapped my steerer.

I find it completely unfathomable that anyone could ever do it. Yeah you might have a little more leverage but the fact of the matter is that the large majority is still held perfectly tight inside the headtube.

I've known steerers to give, and it's always at the crown race - when do they ever break above the ht?!

Ha ha Koxx must have read this and thought 'We'll show him...............'

Is there some kind of "Late bump, out of context post" competition going on here?

EDIT: Sorry, "ha ha".

hey hey!

okay lets stay on topic,why so many stem stackers in uk?

german riders usually ride their street bikes lower.

is it like the thing with the brear brake on the "wrong" side of the bars?

is it beeing uk riders beeing taller?

been asking myself that for a while now,its really a"british setup" for us germans

UK riders ride differently to most other riders it seems, and it seems like a higher front end kind of compliments that riding style. It seems like a lot of Euro riders tend to try and ride their 24's like a trials bike they're doing other stuff on, whereas it's almost like the other way round this side of the Channel.
