Product Information

Full details

The Gusset TS 35 Matt Jones Edition MTB Stem is a high-performance component engineered specifically for mountain bikers who demand precision steering and rugged durability. Designed in collaboration with pro rider Matt Jones, this 40mm reach, 0° rise stem provides a responsive feel and clean cockpit aesthetic for aggressive trail and dirt jump riding; however, its specialized 35mm clamp diameter means it is not compatible with standard 31.8mm handlebars without significant modification or adapters.

FAQs

Does this stem include a top cap?

No, the stem is sold as a standalone unit and does not include a headset top cap.

Can I use this with a 31.8mm handlebar?

No, this stem is designed exclusively for 35mm handlebars and will not fit smaller diameters safely.

What is the weight of this stem?

The stem is designed for dirt jumping and trail riding, emphasizing strength and stiffness over ultra-lightweight specs.

Is this suitable for downhill racing?

While durable, this stem is primarily designed for dirt jumping and trail riding. Consult your frame manufacturer for downhill-specific requirements.

How do I maintain the finish?

Wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may dull the grey finish.

Is the torque spec printed on the stem?

Yes, most Gusset stems feature the recommended torque settings laser-etched onto the body near the bolts.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars slipping or rotating

Ensure bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification in an even 'X' pattern.

Creaking sounds from the stem area

Clean the clamping surface of the bars and stem, apply a light layer of friction paste, and re-torque the bolts.

Handlebars do not fit

Confirm your handlebars are 35mm in diameter. This stem is not compatible with 31.8mm bars.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Optimized 40mm reach for modern frame geometries
  • Robust build quality capable of handling heavy landings
  • Sleek grey finish matches most modern bike aesthetics
  • Easy to install with standard hex keys

  • Limited to 35mm clamp standard only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the Gusset TS 35 stem requires a 4mm or 5mm hex key, depending on your hardware.

  1. Ensure your fork steerer tube is clean and free of debris.
  2. Slide the stem onto the steerer tube.
  3. Position your 35mm handlebars into the faceplate.
  4. Tighten the four faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure even clamping pressure.
  5. Always use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid damaging the steerer or bars.

Compatibility note: This stem is strictly for use with 35mm diameter handlebars and standard 1 1/8" steerer tubes. Regular care involves checking bolt tension after the first few rides and periodically wiping down the unit with a soft cloth to maintain its finish.
