FAQs
Does this stem work with 31.8mm handlebars?
No, this stem is specifically designed for 35mm diameter handlebars and is not compatible with smaller bar standards.
What is the stack height of this stem?
The Race Face Turbine 35 stem features a 40mm stack height.
Is this stem suitable for downhill racing?
While it is highly durable and engineered for enduro and trail, it is primarily categorized for trail/enduro use. For dedicated downhill, consider consulting specific gravity-oriented lines if your riding involves extreme drops.
What angle does this stem have?
This stem provides a 6-degree rise.
Can I use this stem with a carbon fork steer tube?
Yes, but ensure you follow your fork manufacturer's specific torque requirements, as carbon steer tubes may require lower torque settings than aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slipping or rotating
Ensure bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification in an even, cross-pattern sequence.
Creaking noises from the cockpit
Clean the contact surfaces of the stem and handlebar, apply a light coat of carbon paste if using a carbon bar, and re-torque.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High fatigue resistance from 7075 aluminum
- Even load distribution protects carbon or alloy bars
- Robust clamping system for aggressive trail use
- Lightweight yet structurally stiff design
Cons
- Requires a 35mm diameter handlebar
- Requires precise torque wrench usage for safety
- Limited to 6-degree rise configuration
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your steer tube is clean and free of debris. Slide the stem onto the steer tube and align it with your front wheel before tightening the rear bolts. When securing the handlebar, tighten the faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure even pressure distribution across the clamp. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to follow the manufacturer's specified torque settings; avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the stem or your handlebars. Regularly inspect the bolts for signs of vibration-induced loosening after long rides, especially if you frequently ride in harsh, rocky conditions.
