T1 Cyclops Stem
Louis:
2017 time to re engineer the stem again.
I do like that there is no aluminum being stretched around the steerer each time you tighten/loosen your stem.. how often is that though? I mean stems do stretch, people have removed material because the back of their stem is touching.
Installation? Not a big deal.. as long as it holds the steerer good enough. Problem is if it moves you're stuck without a hammer?
"Hey you have a hammer?"
Actually those Animal multi tools had a hammer... or you only need a hammer to completely remove/install? 6mm bolts might be nice, or the option. S&M had the 6mm coarse thread bolts? During the redneck xlt release?
The Tree headset caps actually have both 1/4" & 6mm allen broaches as well.

Oh boohoo. You only need a hammer to set the bottom wedge when you install it.
All the main components on my bike already use imperial fasteners anyway.
Sasper:
I think I will get one ! looks awesome.

True to form, BG is bitching about the stem that we clamored for for years.

Ah man I crashed at the park and my bars moved. Let me just get my 6mm, my 1/4" and my hammer. Nope.

It looks like the hammer would only be needed for initial installation and not for small adjustments.
