i dialed my front end in this week and i also added some tag handlebars...it appears i have a bent steering stem from an earlier crash...
is anybody running aftermarket?what brand?how much?

LSR, Walsh, and a couple of others offer them they are between 230 -270.

Ride carefully.

smitty are you running a stock stem?

 

I got a +1 by Houser. $270 with fat bar anti-vibration mounts.

 

lt,does houser have a website?

 

Yup, I still have the stock stem it's an anti-vibe setup that was a nice surprise.

My local dealer sells a couple of aftermarket teering stems. he says that they are supposed to reduce bump steer on the 02' cannondales. Does anyone who has one of these notice a difference? Have you measured the change in toe-in as the a-arms move through their range of travel? Is there less change than with the stock stem? I was thinking about getting one.

 

Anyone?

 

I don't know about the reduce bump steer, since my tie rod ends are worn out. But I did have to readjust the toe end on the quad.

 

Does anyone know? I'm really curious, but I'd hate to buy one just to find out the bump steer thing was b.s.. There is nothing wrong with my stock steering stem, but I'm willing to upgrade.
