New school double clamp stem build

(1/3) > >>

oldschoolace:
Hey guys, i usually just crack on with these mad ideas but i thought i would do a build thread for this one as it will take a while to do and it would be good to get some opinion/input.

So the basic idea is a Mongoose/Redline style double clamp stem to fit a new school ride.
 



The steerer clamp is internal with the slot facing forwards and the stainless steel plate will bolt down into it while the bar clamps bolt right through the plate and the 2 clamp halfs.

Im wondering whether to bolt the bar clamps from underneath the plate and tap the top piece so it appears boltless. What do you guys think?

not johndub71:
Bolting from underneath shouldn't be a prob providing the threads are ample to take the tightening torque. 

GavinDavis:
What will happen to the front end of the stem Clint when its tightened around the steer tube?

A normal rear slotted stem would allow movement in the metal when clamping but by going off tye drawing I cant quite see how it would work?......is the centre are independent from the rest?

Dannywhac:
OG one's are like this Gav:



And yeah, deffo go for the underneath fixings - will look a ton better imho  :daumenhoch:

Just re-read your post Gav, and you didn't need to see that pic  ;D  Looks like the bottom fixings independent at the clamping area.

oldschoolace:
I'm hoping to use the same inner pinch principle as this Gav  :daumenhoch:



If all else fails i could cut a dog leg on the end of the slot out to one side so the pinch travel would be the same as a normal stem
