Al_Fel Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I like that they have done this. I don't think it will become a thing but Its great that it is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I had dreams of a system almost exactly like this years ago - super cool that someone's made it real. Major downside of rear hose unquestionably getting torn in the event of a front-end-spinning crash though. I reckon it's more likely to damage it than a crash with traditional routing, despite much less of it being exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Could implement something like Treks knockblock to stop over rotation of the bars in the event of a crash I'll still stick with all external cables and hoses though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 How did Montys old steering lock work? on the 2008 xlite i think it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think the basic premise was that your steerer would snap off quickly enough that whether you over rotated your bars wasn't a problem. That was the "Monty Steering Stop System". Think it was basically just a threaded hole in the steerer that you tightened a bolt or something into that then mashed into the frame and stopped the forks from rotating fully? Not sure on the details as I never saw it in person, but that was the premise. Monty's SSS also fits in with that Magura setup of drilling holes in things in places I wouldn't really want to drill holes in things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Could you not have a cam shaped headset spacer with a short post on that comes in contact with the frame when the bars end up round the frame end? If that makes sense, clamp it with the headset spacers and it just hangs down around the head tube and turns with the bars, just stopping it from a full rotation and shreading your hoses..

forteh Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 That's effectively what the trek knock block is, there are keys on the stem and special headset spacers that interface with a specific headset top cap. The top cap has an annular groove that stops against a little block that is bolted to the top of the top tube. You would need to mechanically key it to the stem or steerer tube, clamping friction wouldn't be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
