  1. Broken Look Ergo stem photos at geocities.comlook

    Hidden break in mine! Symptoms were slipping (sometimes).

    I can't get that page to load up.

    What part of it broke?

  3. A friend has the quill style and it apparently came with an alloy quill bolt. Bad idea, it snapped
    as he went around a corner. Needless to say he went down hard.

    The photos are large, and geocities is pretty slow, so please give it some time.

    Don't know what the part is called. It'a the cylindrical part of alloy that goes inside one of the
    two pivots. One bolt passes through it.

    Thanks for helping debug! Try viewing the page again. I reformatted the html and might have fixed
    some errors. I hope! :-^

    Still doesn't work (same error) ...Could be my computer/ISP, although other sites seem to be
    loading ok.

    Okay, thanks for the follow up. I've just deleted the index.html file. Now I can look at each photo
    from the directory structure. I hope you can, too!

    Hidden break in mine! Symptoms were slipping (sometimes).

    Just curious, did you use aerobars? The reason I ask is that I just broke a Nitto (Technomic,
    aluminum). Mine broke at the quill, about an inch above the locknut, my guess is that my aerobar use
    stressed it a lot. In my case the quill bolt (steel) held, so no crash, but still spooky.

    As a matter of fact, yes. The stem was used nearly full-time with aero bars.

    I suspected that, given where it cracked. I'm beginning to think that those of us who use aerobars
    really aren't served well by standard stems, the loading being different than that of plain
    handlebars. Something to think about...
