Is the Kalloy Uno stem the holy grail of WW?

[pdlpsher1]

I got my spacers from Torontocycles. They are perfectly matched to the Uno. But it looks like Torontocycles is now closed due to Covid. These spacers are called Point One Racing Nano spacers. Machined aluminum.

24mm. Not even close to 9.2mm.

Bummer. So, what mounts are folks using for these? Handlebar mount is so 2014.
Tillquist mount is 10 grams with 2 bolts http://edge-mount.bike/?product=mount-9-2
This looks like an anchor www.f3cycling.com/formmount

Searching for Uno 7 oon ebay i get so many results, but most of them look like fake, and looking at the weight they inform of, its not the real deal. How do i actually find a stem closer to 100g rather than 130g.

Have a look at Wren Stems

120mm @ 101g

Sometimes get them cheaper on fleabay

They posted to NZ and cost was okay, can't remember amount...but didn't freak me out so can't have been too expensive

I recently ordered a Procraft PRC ST2 stem from R2. My Kalloy UNO 90mm (7 degree) stem with the normal steel bolts is 101g. The Procraft PRC ST2 90mm 6 degree stem is 91g with the stock bolts.

I'm just a bit hestitant to run the Procraft stem because of the M4 bolts.

The Procraft stem is quite affordable (around 50EU).

Anybody have a lead on spacers that look good with the Kalloy Uno?

I know Toronto Cycles sold some, but they seem to be closed up these days.

[ertech]

there is a piece of the puzzle I do not get.
if a company is able to sell a super light stem for under 30$ , why can the big company do the same like specialized, cannondale etc...?
is there a safety concern with the cheap priced light ones?
thanks

[blaugrana]

They could if they wanted to. That's the reason why every manufacturer equips their own bikes with their own brand of components these days (as opposed to having Deda, 3T, etc.), because it probably costs them peanuts.

[ertech]

sorry what I was trying to say.
why do alum stems from 3t,DEDA....are not as lite as the uno?why they keep them in the 150 to 200G weight when they can manufacture them like UNo?
does making that like make it unsafe in any way?
thanks

A lighter stem is going to be less 'safe' than a heavier stem, plain and simple. A bicycle manufacturer doesn't know the weight of the rider so they tend to error on the side of being conservative. They don't want a rider to get injured as that would be bad publicity not to mention the risk of an injury lawsuit. The other thing is the intended use. They cannot foresee how the bike will be used, as in what kind of road condition the bike will be used in. Some examples of conditions that may affect reliability are riding on cobblestones and doing maximum sprint efforts. So in a nutshell, if you are a lighter weight rider and don't ride on cobblestones the Uno is going to be OK. But if you are rough on your components then perhaps the Uno is not the best choice.

CO stands for Colorado?
I didnt know there were so many cobblestones roads in Colorado.

Thread dig....

Have these gained weight over the least few years? All the ones I'm seeing on Ali or eBay are 130g+ for 100, not 110g
