Product Information

There are other defintions of the triangle that involve the balance of power, comfort and aerodynamics according to need, however, as described in: I was 28 before I made the realisation that 110mm stems provide the best balanced handling, and actually, having my bars a bit higher was still aero enough and a damned sight more comfortable. A frame that's too small potentially results in excessive seat post (where you will get some flex) and a very long stem will affect the steering (on a bike that's supposedly has carefully tuned handling based around one of normal length) Take control of your bike’s handling and find your perfect riding position with a precision-designed bike handlebar stem from Wiggle.

One good rule of thumb for choosing the correct length stem (and it works for the road.cc team) is to sit on the bike with your hands on the top of the hoods and look down at the front hub. If the stem length is correct, the handlebars should completely hide the front hub. If you can see the hub in front of the handlebar, the stem is too short. Experiment with stem length Wilier doesn’t make specific claims about the magnitude of aero improvements over the Filante SLR’s predecessors, but the bike does take a somewhat new approach. The Pro Vibe 7S Stem is undoubtedly the stiffest I have used, but is also impressively low in weight. The 'Puzzle' clamping system also works very well and is simple to fit and adjust. Wilier says the Filante SLR was designed with input from pros including Daniele Bennati, Jakob Fuglsang and Alexey Lutsenko.Choose from a complete range of stress-dispersing MTB stems, and lightweight road bike stems, offering superb steering performance and adjustability. Compatible with other road bikes using a 1 1/8 steerer tube (Note: cable integration will not be possible as with a Tarmac SL7) There can't be any hard numbers as we're all different, so I imagine the lead up as being on the lines of: But if you’re making radical changes, a 70mm stem on a 58cm frame or a 140mm stem on a 52cm frame, for example, is a clear indication that you might be riding the wrong frame size.

Start with a stem that is 10mm longer or shorter, depending on whether you want to extend or reduce your reach to the handlebars, and go for a ride. How does it feel? Better? It’s good to do a couple of rides of decent length to see how the stem length change impacts your riding comfort. Therefore if I extend a stem from, for example, 12 cm to 14 cm, I need to make it 58% stiffer per unit length just to get the same deflection for a given load.

Find the right Deda Elementi stem But the stem length needs to be considered as part of the bigger picture of the frame size, saddle height, saddle fore-aft adjustment and the shape and size of the drop handlebars. That’s where a professional bike fit is invaluable, as all those other factors will be considered. The first place to start is with the initial fitting of the stem: it's considerably easier than others I have used thanks to the Puzzle clamp system. The stem has two bolts rather than four, with the top of the faceplate connecting to the main body of the stem and securing the bar (I tested it with the matching Pro Vibe 7S bar, reviewed here). It also has a brushed aluminium design that looks like two interconnecting Vs, which I think looks really good. It has a standard 31.8mm diameter clamp, which was easy to fit around the bar.

The 2014 aluminium alloy used is typically used in aerospace applications, and is among the strongest aluminium alloys whilst also having high hardness – which is what you want in a stem I guess. availability. In this case we recommend to consider alternative items from the BIKE24 product range. Weight could surely have been lopped off via aluminium hardware (or even titanium but that would significantly increase costs), but only at the expense of durability. On the scales, the SL-K is a run-of-the-mill 165g for the 120mm length tested, meaning there a plenty of lighter options out there at around this price. Whatever cycling discipline you enjoy, Wiggle has an array of bike handlebar stem spares to choose from.This stem is made of durable 6061 T6 aluminum for an optimal ratio between weight and stiffness. The 4-way screw clamp guarantees a durable attachment for oversize handlebars. The stem is supplied with a suitably shaped top cap. Features of the FSA ACR stem The SL-K is manufactured first by 3D forging – a process which typically improves the material properties by aligning the grain structure – and finished by CNC machining. The carbon faceplate adds a dash of the more exotic to the whole ensemble while the bolts are good old reliable chromoly steel. I’m going to start by suggesting the best way to find the answer to that question is to arrange a professional bike fit with a reputable bike shop. Most shops offer bike fits of various varieties from simple to advanced, and many offer it as part of the buying process so you’re not charged loads of extra money on top of your new bike. Overall, I really like this stem. It's incredibly stiff and brilliant for sprints and climbs, although prolonged use on rough roads might call for you to put some extra padding on your bar and mitts. It is priced around the same as its major competitors and has some neat design features, like the Puzzle clamp, which make it look cool on the bike and function well during adjustment and fitting. Verdict Claudio Salomoni of Wilier says: “obviously we developed Filante in the wind tunnel, you can’t avoid using it, however the wind tunnel has limits”. Real-world yaw-angles are constantly changing, and turbulence from other riders can also be a factor, he explains.
