SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Your stem would have to be as thick as a jj&a.. Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 naw, ziggy used to make aluminum stems. Quote
Nieskes Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Your stem would have to be as thick as a jj&a..why do you say this? Please explain when you make such a stupid comment. Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Maybe im wrong. ... but I work with Aluminum pipe in my trade... just don't seem like it would work. ... and the wheelie bar ive seen fail... was a Aluminum one. Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Wat would the advantage be of an AL stem over molly or steel? Strength? Weight? Price? Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 You don't know the answer to this, buy say you work with aluminum piping daily.Hey super Genius, ,, I never said daily. And apparently im not working with what everyone thinks they are going to use for a stem. Cause this shit you could even do a pull up on. Not that your fat as can do a pull up. So enlighten me? Weight? Strength? Price? 1 Quote
m671054 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Stellar used to sell the stub that rides in the bearing years ago. I had asked the same ? Years ago on ps and was strongly advised against it. It would def be lighter. I woul look towards carbon fiber if i was building one Quote
m671054 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Race tech sells a titanium one. 3lbs lighter than stock Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Remind me to never hire you for your trade. Again, if you don't know the adavantages of aluminum over chromoly and steel, you shouldn't be working with it. I know good and well the advantages on it in my trade. And none of which tranfer to Atv stems.... It sounds like you don't understand the Advantages and Disadvantages. Edited November 11, 2014 by SOUTHTHIRTY Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I think this bike ran an Aluminum stem Quote
