Or perhaps we should replace Bradley's saddle with the Pringles tube / tennis ball contraption? Might help him get off his arse...Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

Is this just insulation tubes stuck to the helmet.

When your stem costs this much I'm sure you never take your eye off it.

Translation
culminates ax-lightness know-how in dealing with fiber composites in him . This is also necessary because acting on a stem forces and stresses of various kinds. In addition to easy-to-handle bending moments especially the torques and clamping forces must be manageable. These requirements are reflected in a specially developed for this wheel component manufacturing method again, which exploits the potential of composite materials to a maximum. Typical of this is the continuous fiber orientation that pervades over the separating planes of the mold away from handlebar to fork clamp. Thus, the stem has no weaknesses and can score over its entire length with constant stiffness. This can be discerned most clearly in the saddle . Among other things, for the impressively low weight of the stem clamping responsible, the simple and effective by holding their constructive minimalism fork and handlebars at bay . Only by such unitary concepts such weights and the optimal distribution of the stresses in the composite can be realized, which is why a looping must be taken into account during the assembly of the handlebar. innovative construction is extremely durable, yet lightweight thanks to the material Carbon - the stem is a true STW (stiffness to weight) wonder. Since the stem has a safety related component only by the highest quality fibers and matrix, a safety potential, at the same time comply with the requirement for the minimum weight conscious intermodular fibers are used, in contrast to the highly modular and ultra high modulus counterparts in combination with a special epoxy matrix have a more forgiving failure and not abruptly and brittle break. Loads are distributed over a larger area and reduces voltage spikes. 0 -

You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
124mm stem, only for the elite.....

I miss Froome already, he's as British as Budweiser.+++++++++++++++++++++

Just checking burst shots I took on my phone- spotted Chris looking at his stem on the way up Midhopestones.
