Kevinfor Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Are you trying to close it? If so, just losen the screws a bit on each side switching from one to the other should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon-trials Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Put 2 coins I between the stem clamp and wind the bolts in from the other side stretching the stem clamp open and slide you bars in. Jobs a gud en lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Are you doing it in the bathroom?yes, its where I do my best thinking Put 2 coins I between the stem clamp and wind the bolts in from the other side stretching the stem clamp open and slide you bars in. Jobs a gud en lolhow's it hangin bud. Yeah great minds think alike that's what I'm doing with the screw drivers but it looks like another 5mm or so to clear. Maybe pound coins?

*gentlydoesit Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) cost me 4 quid but its done. Had to use the soft handle of my hammer too.sexy. I'm going to have to chase the ends of the fixings, and caused a few small scratches.

forteh Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 With a design like that they will go out of business! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 With a design like that they will go out of business! They arnt usually that bad, it depends on the bars. I was fine with the low rise trialtech bars, its the steep bends on high rise bars that cause issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 longer bolts would have made life easier but at least you've sorted it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 ho lee fuk, i thought you´ll kill that thing.well done,but watch the bent areas in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) It was well and truly on the verge of destruction, the clamp had about a 10mm gap when I loosend the bolts! Absolute piss take. No stress marks in the anodize was a good sign. Ruined two of my squids though. Nice looking combo I think Edited October 25, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Haha, just just looked at the post times + the 20mins or so I f*kt about before... 2 hours to put the bars on! That's gotta be some kind of record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon-trials Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Bars are looking good in that stem though haha them stems are mental for putting highrise bars in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I got rid of mine last week. Trialtech low risers were a proper twat to get out. Got a trialtech stem now, loads easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have to say the newer k2 stems are a great idea. I'm sure Ben savage said that rockman are bringing one out like it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 ^removable clamps, that's cheating... There's no sense of accomplishment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I only ever used two 5p coins and the standard bolts wound all the way in from the underside and fitting trialtech highrise bars was dead easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
