Stem FAQ's
There are really only two bar diameter standards these days, 31.8mm and 35mm.
Make sure you find out which one your current bars are!
Almost all forks nowadays have a 1 1/8" steerer tube at the point where the stem attaches.
There are a few forks still around with a 1.5" steerer but it's quite unlikely you need to worry about this.
You can always measure your current stem/steerer if you want to be extra sure. (1 1/8" is about 28.5mm)
This is very tough for us to answer but somewhere in the vicinity of your fork offset is generally a good place to start.
Remember, a longer stem doesn't really make up for a bike that is too short for you (and vice versa). It affects other things as well, namely handling.
We refer to this as "stack", and it's 38mm on all of our stems. (Apart from the direct mount of course.)
As much as possible! Your steerer should only be about 3mm shy of the top of the stem. (Just enough for the lip of the top cap to clear)
Pro tip: the steerer goes entirely through the stem and sticks out the top by about 3mm. Then use a headset spacer on top. This is how we build our bikes here at Chromag HQ.
You can read the full user guide here, but making sure everything is clean is a great start.
Follow torque specs, and make sure the faceplate has an equal gap top and bottom.
Handlebar markings only get you so far, if you want to be super accurate, get out the tape measure!
If something is creaking it's almost always due to dirt and dust. Take everything apart and clean. This would also be a good time to inspect for damage.
If you have a crash and tweak your bar angle, for the love of god loosen your stem when setting them straight. It also goes without saying to give your bike a good look over after a crash, especially the front end.
It's never a bad idea to replace your stem bolts each year (you'd be surprised how corrosive sweat is). We sell replacement bolt kits at a very reasonable price.
Customer Reviews
So very happy I chose this stem! So good looking and love supporting brands I appreciate!
Feels super solid on the trail, just what my bike needed!
I ride for Chromag and ordered this stem a little while ago. I absolutely love it; it's actually one of the parts I like the most on my bike to be honest. Works great!
All good. Have used many chromag products with no complaints. Online ordering is easy too!
HiFi 35
I am a Chromag athlete. First off, I decided to purchase this stem because I was having issues with the bars twisting after X-Ups or light bails on my dirt jumper. I put this stem on, and the solid bolts connecting the stem to the steerer tube fixed my problem right away. This thing both holds your bars in the right spot, and properly clamps to your steerer tube.
This stem is so good at connecting my steerer tube to my Fubar! Stiff, light, looks cool. Kids dig it!
Doesn’t get much better than this stem. No nonsense and stiff. I have this stem on all of my bikes.
love my stem. it fits great on the bike and love the different colours
