Product Information
Full details
The Race Face Aeffect R 35mm stem is an ideal upgrade for aggressive cross-country and trail riders seeking a stiff, reliable cockpit component that can withstand demanding terrain. Built for durability with a focus on modern geometry, it provides a secure and responsive steering feel; however, its heavy-duty construction may add slightly more weight compared to ultra-lightweight carbon racing stems.

FAQs
What handlebar diameter does this stem fit?
This stem is designed exclusively for 35mm diameter handlebars.
Will this fit a tapered steerer tube?
Yes, this stem is compatible with 1-1/8 inch threadless steerers, which includes the upper portion of standard tapered forks.
What is the stack height?
The stack height of this stem is 39mm.
Does this stem come in other lengths?
Yes, the Aeffect R series is available in various lengths including 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm.
Do I need special tools for installation?
A standard set of metric Allen keys (typically 4mm or 5mm) and a torque wrench are recommended.
Can I flip the stem to get a rise?
The stem features a zero-degree rise, so flipping it will not change the handlebar height.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar is rotating or slipping
Ensure the top bolts of the faceplate are tightened completely to close the 'Overbite' gap before securing the bottom bolts.
Creaking noises while riding
Remove the stem faceplate, clean the contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, apply a light coat of carbon/metal assembly paste, and torque bolts to spec.
Steering feels loose
Verify the headset top cap tension is correct before tightening the two rear bolts on the stem body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your steerer tube is cut to the appropriate length to accommodate the 39mm stack height. Slide the stem onto the 1-1/8 inch steerer and tighten your headset top cap before securing the rear steerer clamp bolts. When installing the handlebars, tighten the 'Overbite' faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern, prioritizing the top bolts to close the gap completely. Always use a torque wrench to follow the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent thread stripping. Periodically check all bolts for tightness, especially after the first few rides, and clean the interface between the stem and handlebars to prevent creaking caused by grit.
