Never was a big believer in carbon stems. I get the idea about matching cockpit, but the Enve stem looks too massive. Removing the decals removes a bit of the mismatch.

Forgot I had ordered one of these fine 3,2g things. Saved 2g over my Carbon-ti carbon cap and Al bolt. Aluminum rules :D

Super sweet!

I read somewhere that it wasn't compatible with compression plugs.
So, do you mind telling me what headset you are using it with? (too lazy to go through the entire topic.. :oops: )

I use an Extralite expander. I don' see why it shouldn't work, but maybe it is because the cap rotates while tightening. If that is the case you can just tighten it with a normal cap at first.

I use the same system as Anders. I just use a Soul-Kozak topcap and bolt i one pice. Works like a charm.

My Spidering arrived from a fellow WW. That is a great piece of machined hardware. I finally got through to Piotr at Smud Carbon and a matte seat post clamp should arrive in about a week.

Elrey you are right :-) Thanks GoldenR, but at one point in time I might change the 6770 for 6870.

Received my Smud seatpost clamp. 5,9g of carbon wonder compared to 15g for the original. The finish is very nice. Unfortunately I thought I needed a 30,0mm for my CAAD10, as that is the one needed for the Evo. But to my surprise I need a 30,9mm, which is now on order.
