Hi All
My handlebar stem (think that's what it's called!) has just broken on my 905 Sport. The mechanism that allows you to raise/lower the handlebars easily includes a metal cog with teeth, that locks the mechanism when all is tightened. The teeth have sheared off, meaning the handlebars are now floppy and won't tighten properly. This is the second time this has happened - the first timed ELC in London sent me a new stem under warranty, but I'm out of warranty now. I would like to replace the stem with a standard stem, with no fancy mechanism for moving the handlebars around. Once I have set the height the usual way, I have no need to make any adjustments after that. My question is about what stem to buy? Does anyone know the size I need for a 905 Sport 2008 model? i.e. the diameter of the stem that goes into the bike forks, and the size of the bit the actual handlebar goes through? Any help in knowing the right replacement stem to buy would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Howard
