The Bike Shop / Re: is anyone still making 7075 stems?

« on: March 13, 2016, 05:49:50 PM »

I completly understand 6061 is affordable. When forged properly its plenty strong bla bla blah...

But my problem is that if feels rubbish during 1st installation. ALWAYS. Soft and potato like.
Newschool design with shorter and shorter bolts arereally too short for 6061 (threads will die sooner or later).
Then BAM BAM BAM  threads are really dying too fast. even w/o overtigtening.
6061 stems are for 50kgs kids ONLY. Terrible!

Who is still making solid 7075 topload stems?

I think you do something wrong

Do you even know who erenes is? He is just really really hard on his bike lool
