“Supertherm or Ox platinum? T45 or Reynolds 853? Sanko or Tange? What’s it all about?”

Yep, several people have been foolish enough to ask me to write a tech column on all the “fancy” tubes that companies are increasingly using to make frames. Obviously this is unlikely to be an exciting story with dumb security guards and drunken antics but I will do my best to prevent it being completely unreadable.

The stem has reached the distributors, so whenever your shop can get them is when you will see them.
Here are the directions that come with the stem, so check these out before you ask questions.
36mm of available fork steerer tube is an important measure so you know if your current fork will fit(if you cut it down). Pay special attention to steps 5 and 6 to avoid under/overtightening
They may look complicated, but we wanted to make sure your bike is running smooth. You could make instructions for how to properly install a normal stem just as thorough.

Jimmy’s Grip is shipping out.

Thin, minimal grip, random stipple pattern(think clark’s shoe sole) with a VERY slight(only about 1mm) buldge in the center-tapering out to the ends.
Its got bats on it (like Jimmy’s arm). Bats are good luck.
