FAQs
What is the handlebar clamp diameter?
This stem is designed for 35mm diameter handlebars.
Can this stem be used on a downhill bike?
While it is engineered for trail and all-mountain use, its robust CNC construction makes it suitable for many aggressive riding styles; however, always check your bike's specific component requirements.
Does the stem have any rise?
No, this model features a zero-rise design for a neutral front-end profile.
What size steerer tube is this compatible with?
It is compatible with standard 1 1/8-inch mountain bike steerer tubes.
How do I maintain the stainless steel screws?
Periodically check the torque and keep them clean. If you ride in wet or corrosive environments, a light application of anti-seize paste on the threads can prevent seizing.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slipping inside the stem
Check that the faceplate is tightened evenly and the 35mm diameter is correct. Ensure the clamping area is clean and free of grease.
Creaking noise from the cockpit
Remove the faceplate, clean the contact surfaces, and ensure all bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hope TR Stem 35 requires a standard 1 1/8-inch steerer tube and a 35mm diameter handlebar. Ensure your steerer tube is cut to the appropriate length before mounting. When installing, tighten the two-piece faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure even pressure across the bar. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to ensure hardware is tightened to the manufacturer's specified values to prevent over-tightening. For care, regularly inspect the stainless steel screws for signs of wear and keep the interface between the stem and the handlebar clean of debris to prevent creaking.
