Canardweb Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I think they have tested it for a rather long time now, so it should be quite trouble free. Edited November 11, 2015 by Canardweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwtrials Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 The big thing isn't the design. Racing line, freno, hashtagg are prety much all the same '05 style knockoff. What matters is if the production quality is there and it doesn't get leaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Looks like that lever might take all your money orders then declare bankruptcy without giving you any of the products you gave it money for. I wouldn't trust it, I'm sure small handed tiny humans appreciate the long lever blade- I'll stick to my non mushy 2005 magura all black short lever blade, my arms are real humans arms that have enough leverage built in for maximum squeezing powers with such an "inferior" design. Hard to reinvent the wheel. Pengy penguins pengin profoundly. Edited November 16, 2015 by AndyT 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 By the looks of it, nothing but the graphics. So hardly "interesting". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 And the geo. They claim that you can have a similar position to the carthy way without having your bars so far forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yeah they say they've increased the length by 2 mm and the angle by -3 degrees. I'd be surprised if the original K2 stems were bang on 150/30 anyways. Cynical i know, but i imagine they found they weren't produced bang on and just used it as a gimic.

Canardweb Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah that actually makes sense. If Tartybikes could measure one of the "old" Try-All K2 stems we would have our answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliao Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) is the standard way of measuring stems from the center of the bottom of the steerer clamp to the center of the bar clamp?

Canardweb Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Actually I have a broken one, I need to see if I can measure precisely enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni-J Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've got both stems and stood them side by side on a flat bench and can confirm the Hashtagg stem has less rise and is slightly longer. The new levers feel silky smooth. IMO they are a dream part for any trials rider who has stuffed around with the 05 HS33's and water.

DYAKOV Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I am not an engineer but currently am reading structural decisions in architecture which has a lot in common with stresses and bending moments. From designer's and mechanical points of view, this blade design looks ridiculously stupid being unnecessarily complicated purely aesthetically and as a manufacturing process (there your money goes). And having the inward bend of the second wall (closer to the bars when mounted) makes it weaker on that point too. Somebody already said it's been tested a lot, so there should be no issues with that but to me the old echo cnc'd blades (2007 I think) are the best providing a decent leverage and comfy as f**k!

isitafox Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 They're fitted to the wrong body there, Echo SL bodies win this contest and the Hashtagg one looks most like one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
