I've heard that those things flex too much much though.



Pretty much. I'll try to find a tall stem. Thanks for the advice!

It takes a quill stem. I can use a quill stem adapter though.

I think I'll try a 60mm stem first, 40mm seems way too short.

What's the shortest stem you've used with drop bars?

Hi! What's the shortest stem you've used with drop bars and how was it? Are super short stems really super twitchy, unstable, or unsafe?

It's been raining pretty hard here in Manila, Philippines. Even if you wear full rain gear, you'll still end up wet. Sometimes, you have no choice but to bike through floods that are almost as deep...

Stripping paint from an aluminum frame using a heat gun

Hi! I have an aluminum frame which I want to strip the paint off of. I won't be repainting the bike, so I want to preserve the bare aluminum finish and not use any abrasives.
