Product Information
Full details
The PRO LT Stem is designed for cyclists seeking a durable and stable front-end component for their bicycles. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable connection between the fork steerer tube and handlebars, ensuring secure steering. A potential caveat for some riders might be its fixed 0-degree angle, which offers a specific riding posture that may not suit all preferences. This stem features a robust alloy construction, 31.8mm handlebar clamp diameter, 1-1/8 inch steerer tube compatibility, a 60mm length, and a 0-degree angle for a straightforward and dependable cycling experience.

FAQs
What size handlebars does this stem fit?
This PRO LT Stem is designed to fit handlebars with a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
What type of fork steerer tube is compatible?
It is compatible with standard 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) bicycle fork steerer tubes.
Can I adjust the handlebar height with this stem?
The PRO LT Stem has a fixed 0-degree angle, meaning it does not offer adjustable height. The handlebar height will be determined by the stem's position on the steerer tube and any headset spacers used.
What is the material of the PRO LT Stem?
The stem is constructed from durable alloy for reliability and longevity.
Is this stem suitable for downhill mountain biking?
While durable, the 0-degree angle and 60mm length are generally suited for trail, cross-country, or road riding rather than aggressive downhill applications which often benefit from shorter stems and different angles.
How do I know if the 60mm length is right for me?
A 60mm stem typically offers a balanced reach. It's a good starting point for many riders, but optimal length can vary based on your body size, riding style, and bike fit.
Troubleshooting
Stem slips on the steerer tube
Ensure the steerer tube clamp bolts are tightened evenly and to the correct torque specification. Clean any grease or debris from the steerer tube and the inside of the stem clamp before installation.
Handlebars feel loose
Check that the handlebar clamp bolts are tightened evenly and to the correct torque. Ensure the handlebars are properly seated within the clamp area and are not overtightened on one side.
Difficulty fitting stem to steerer tube
Confirm that your bicycle has a standard 1-1/8 inch steerer tube and that the stem is not damaged or deformed. Clean both surfaces thoroughly.
