I mean the alu darimo stem is primarily designed for xc mtb’s. Some drop bars will work, most won’t.

So it should work. However, after watching their video of installing the bars into their carbon IX2 stem I'd be hesitant about exactly how much you can bend the aluminium version before causing issues.What about using it for Road or Gravel handlebars?
Yes, it’s possible with our Darimo Ellipse handlebar.

^Exactly. As they advertise that Ellipse should work with the stem, I thought the install would be piece of cake like it is with the before mentioned FSA handlebar.
Bit of a shame as the stem looks absolutely perfect and offers a nice clean cockpit. As well as better EUR/g ratio as the carbon counterparts.

Funny what goes around comes around.malminmanne wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 8:16 amDoes anyone know how to install the Ellipse handlebar to IX2al stem? The kink at the handlebar seems way too tight to get the stem through. Ironically, FSA handlebars can be installed with ease .
Its pretty frustrating that Darimo includes the instruction page with the stem but advices to only contact them via email to get the instructions.
This is what we used to have fun with on Cinelli XA stems as well as other brands before open face removal.
It used to be frustrating at times back then but some patience is all it took and wedging open the stem correctly at the right gap helped. It was just a matter of getting the correct angle without forcing the handlebars too much.

FWIW I still have not received a reply regards my broken Sub 4 clamp. I did message them thru their site. I will ask one more time.
I gave up on that clamp awhile ago. Using the Tune Schraubwürger on all of my bikes now. Set and forget.Juanmoretime wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 12:36 pmFWIW I still have not received a reply regards my broken Sub 4 clamp. I did message them thru their site. I will ask one more time.

Darimo did respond to my second email and said they did not receive the original email. I believe them since like regular mail, email does get lost. They are warrantying my clamp. Use it nad trust it? Maybe.

posted in error.
i will add that my darimo xc stuff has been great for years now. my road bike drop bars are great also but i struggle to get my old sram etap hoots to be secure and not move about. maybe i need better carbon paste, or grip tape under the aluminum ring.
